I actually have tried to use the trusted version that comes with the Fedora packages. It was quite a while ago so I don't remember exactly why that didn't work, but I think it had to do with Fedora packaging an older version of Gradle than the build configuration required.

So, nice thought. I guess I could work out what Ubuntu system the author used and set up a matching Ubuntu toolbox (container) with the right Gradle version. It's not really a win for Gradle if the developer's operating system has to be shipped with the build system.

> Tesla should be the one providing the data showing that it is safe for their software to be on the road

The linked article is literally about the data Tesla provides showing that their vehicles are safe, and it doesn't even refute the conclusions. It's about nitpicking at the margins.

To be clear: Tesla's data says autopilot use is about an order of magnitude safer than human driving. The author complains that this is confounded by the fact that AP is used in different conditions where the baseline accident rate is lower.

You need a lot of confounding effect to make up for an order of magnitude delta! Seems like everyone wants to skip that part and yell about the CEO instead.

The cars are safe. They are extremely common vehicles now. If they were unsafe we would know. We know they are safe. Any argument needs to treat with this truth, or it's basically just a conspiracy theory.
That only tells you what the result of a Fourier transform is. It doesn't tell you how it works.
Probably good for Microsoft- the acquisition was agreed at bubble prices, and driven by copying a business that hasn't worked out.

SEA Ltd had great promise in 2021 - they made a hyper popular game and used those revenues and user mindshare to branch out into ecomerce, financial services and all sorts. It was seem as an important part to cradle snatch Gen A before they signed up to meta and amazon.

With metaverse ideas also peaking it seemed like a must do strategy for every conglomerate to get into games. Amazon did too!

In 2022, SEA and Meta are not healthy. Thier plan to invest heavily and get paid later does not make sense in a higher rate environment where the payoff is less than you'd make saving your money in bonds.

Microsoft has a long term interest in games, but it doesn't need to supercharge it. There are better uses for the 70 billion.
I'm pretty sure IKEA has been legally Dutch for a while now.
There might be a market for this.
> Cloud streaming is largely theoretical at this point. There's potential, but will customers choose a $20-40/mo subscription instead of buying a ~$500 console every ~5 years. I'm doubtful. The math says it's a bad deal for console gamers and worse performance for the top 1% of the market. Sony's lead here probably isn't the killing blow for Xbox.But that is

But that is the CMAs argument. That this will make Microsoft too dominant in the cloud streaming space.
I don't agree with the FTC's conclusion on that case, and while it doesn't reflect positively on Epic, its not nearly as negative as the myriad of things other gaming companies do on the regular (lootboxes being a big one, which are still very common in Activision, EA, & Valve games, among others). Epic is one of the good ones; that doesn't mean they always do good things.
Just because we can’t guarantee a perfectly competitive market doesn’t mean the government can’t try to ensure one. E.g. you mention Linux as a competitor to windows, yet the government itself is a huge buyer of windows and Microsoft products in general. A role of government should be setting up and ensuring as close to perfectly competitive markets as possible.
The Finns did the same thing on a grand scale - out in the boonies, there are many stretches of main road where they suddenly go straight and go wider, to be suitable for use as ad-hoc airstrips in case the Russians came knocking.

Brilliant move - suddenly there's an abundance of airstrips all over.

This article is complete nonsense. It's the typical thing of someone being excited about something and being in the bubble of it, thinking it is a much bigger deal than it is.

You can, for both DJI and Autel (the largest commercial manufacturers). There is similar functionality for the homebrew flight controller firmwares out there (e.g. iNav/ArduPilot).

I'm most familiar with Autel's system, since that's what I fly 99% of the time. It has the option to update your home point, but it also has two modes: RTH to takeoff point, and RTH to the controller.

RTH = "Return To Home"

The problem with all of the above is the "failsafe". If the quad loses connection to the controller, by default it will return to the takeoff point and land. You can set it up to RTH to either the the takeoff point or the last known position of the controller, then land or hover until connection is re-established.

On a boat, you're constantly moving. If you lose connection, the drone immediately loses the current position of the controller, so you have to turn the boat around, manually find the drone, and cross your fingers that you're able to reconnect to it before the batteries die and it descends into a nice, slow, controlled landing in the middle of the ocean.

Identifying alternate safe landing sites before taking off is part of the pre-flight checklist for any flight, but it's especially important when operating over water. Doubly so if you're taking off from a boat. Whenever possible, I make sure to end my flights with enough battery that I can make it back to land if I have to. I've planned to use (inactive) oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico in an emergency. I have no idea how I would have gotten ahold of the owners and gotten access to it to retrieve my drone if I'd had to use it, but I'd rather work out those details later than lose it or be forced to ditch it in the water.
CLI tricks every developer should know
DJI seems to be the one company that requires sideloading the Android app. DJI makes great products, but there's really few companies who I would trust less to give unvetted access to my phone.

I know the Android app sandboxing should help a lot, but there's enough unknowns & potentially lurking security holes that I really wouldn't want to trust them. They also are 100% the most likely company on the planet to self-update & start truly-epic-level spying on the world if China ever gets a little bit more nervous. It's just not a tenable proposition to trust DJI with this security stance; no one at the company has the power nor right to say no, & as such there's no basis for trust to form.

Chargebee support quite a few payment processors too.

Unfortunately none of them worked for me, because PayPal (the only one usable in my country) has been unusable. One of the big reasons is because the only bank that supports them in my country can't create a usable online profile.

But even with PayPal itself, they think I haven't confirmed my email address when I have. Although I stopped getting those emails, so perhaps the situation resolved itself.

I'm going with Lemon Squeezy now.

The lesson I have learnt in this ordeal is that you need to confirm, as much as possible, that the payment provider is usable for you. Are you approved? Are payouts accepted in your country? Tick every single box you can before you write a single line of code for a specific payment provider.

The pitch/studio model does not work for short content, and it never will. It's too slow-moving and corporate. The videos that succeed in this format are zeitgeist, flash-in-the-pan trends that are faster to produce and more dynamic than even the laziest reality show. The production value doesn't really matter--if anything it's a downside past a point.
Do they have an official description what a zone is somewhere?

Back in the days when we had our own data centers a zone was defined as a "fire section" meaning that it should not be impacted if any other zone of the data center had a fire. This obviously means that you can't call 3 floors of a building a zone.

Edit: The information on this site https://cloud.google.com/docs/geography-and-regions#regions_... clearly states that a zone is "physically distinct" so they have some explaining to do.

Edit 2: Sneaky... They changed the status page to say "europe-west9" instead of "europe-west9-a".

Netflix it’s power is innovation. Think Bandersnatch.

I assume they’re going to be (one of) the first with an AI-assisted or even completely generated show that is completely tuned to your taste.

I expect the same to happen with games, with the wildcard of multiplayer. Music probably earlier than movies / series and games even.
I don't think the US has all of neither, but especially not revenue. Asia tends to be the biggest market, with the US being the second and EU third. Usually, US has maybe half of the profits as the Asia counterpart, while EU has half of that.

So if the acquisition gets blocked in the EU, they'll miss out on a ton of revenue, for sure.

Not to mention the operational overhead of actually operating the machinery when the machinery is banned in the EU but not the US.

Show HN: Roadmap to create a Side Project in 7 days
Congratulations and thanks to Eron Wolf and Louis Rossmann of FUTO (https://www.futo.org/) for their massive help in getting this done. Announcement video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gZwaIjpZB0

The thing that makes a DFT discrete is that it is over individual samples rather than a continuous function - not that it is over a finite domain.

A Fourier transform applied to a brief window of an underlying continuous function is called a ‘short-time Fourier transform’.

And the frequency information a STFT can pick up is bounded on the low end (think, like the opposite of the Nyquist limit) by the length of the window - this is called the ‘Rayleigh frequency’ - if your window is of length t, you can not detect frequencies lower than 1/t. Which is why your ‘instantaneous’ spectrum analyzer (looking at a short burst of maybe 0.05s of samples) for your 120bpm EDM doesn’t pick up a frequency component at 2Hz - even though that component is there in a Fourier analysis of the whole piece. It can only measure down to 20Hz. Which is fine because that’s also roughly the limit of the part of the song ‘function’ that we hear as ‘tone’ rather than ‘rhythm’.
The anti-Musk folks are the only ones that are excited about Mastodon. There are a lot of them though, so it's something I guess.
Sure, but the more viable landing strips you have, the more are likely to be viable at anyone time.

During the Trump era, conspiracy theories became a prominent part of mainstream conversation, while scientific knowledge was often dismissed as just one perspective among many. In my opinion, a societal culture that treats truth as malleable poses a greater threat than individuals on the internet who are hesitant to publicly express anti-scientific beliefs.
So it lost users, not paying customers. I don't see how that's bad for Netflix. Everyone is in a tizzy about not being able to use a product for free. Pay for your shit. Netflix owes you nothing.

The siloes may actually (re)boot a working 'society'. Word of mouth, social introduction, [restricted/specialized] meeting and discussion spaces, created the original (RL) societies. Societies originally emerged from a disconnected human background. The same can and likely* will happen again.

* Generative AI's gift to human intellectual and cultural rebirth will actually be due to its motivating the birth of numerous curated spaces of discourse and interaction, with strict AI content policies. I predict there will be a cambrian explosion of these boutique spaces. And society 2.0 will emerge from this.

When my high schooler come to me with math problems, the first thing I do is look at the failures and figure out what higher level step or concept is missing in the brain. Then I explain that, sometimes more than once with different approaches. Once the higher level thing clicks, I can just sit back and mostly watch.

Sometimes I'm not sure how a concept clicked, but something did and the right answers start coming out.

I believe so.

I've not flown a DJI "seriously" in a couple of years, but my Autels can be set to stop and hover at a given altitude if connection is lost. I'm pretty sure I remember DJI having the same option.

Korean shows are definitely also an instrument for change. K-culture is a deliberate strategy from the SK government to increase its soft power. SK is resource poor, brain rich, and caught in between bigger players. It needs all the good will it can foster. In addition, the themes explored by K-dramas are often also meant to shape the narrative in Korea, or give visibility to problems. It's not uncommon for a social problem to be highlighted by a drama, and then for public outcry to cause the government to change laws or policies in response. But because SK society is quite conservative and patriarchal, it might not seem to you like social change or controversial.

I don't understand the "doomed" concept here. How can a non-profit be doomed? Even if it shuts down, it's still not doomed since someone else will fork the project over or take ownership.
That makes sense. Perhaps go to the full SaaS model like Rolls-Royce did for jet engines with "Power by the hour" where you lease the engine on a per flight-hour basis with all maintenance included.
I'd argue that's a sign that John Deere is just out to maximize their profits at the expense of everyone else. Plenty of evidence out there to support that. Sure, any company's goal is to maximize profits to some degree, but instead of manipulating the market to extract additional money target a product to what the market can afford. If a market can't afford the product the problem isn't the market, it's the product. Instead Deere has has manipulated the market to extract money the market can't sustain.

“Test in a live environment before the region becomes open to customers” is a test that’s not entirely representative for “the region had an emergency shutdown with customers on it.” And the latter is something that you can’t reliably test obviously - unless you decide to crash a whole region in live traffic.

I’m sure they have checklist and procedures, but an unknowable laundry list of things will go wrong.
That's a good point. This might be a better example:

irb(main):012:0> Class === String

I am intuition-first kind of person, and let me tell you, intuition is not a crutch, it can do things where symbol manipulations would take orders of magnitude more effort.

It is actually possible to imagine and manipulate highly-complex, multi-dimensional things that don't have equivalents in nature.

Imagination is a muscle used a lot when thinking intuitively, some of us have it developed to a ridiculous degree.

If there was one place to watch everything I'd be interested.

But I'm tired of lack of content worth watching, constant fluctuations in what's available, and horrible UX designs for no discernable reason.

All that coupled with the constant preaching has me watching more older movies, and occasionally something new worth watching like Super Mario.

So the money I used to spend on subs I now use on watching the occasional movie in the theater, and more storage for my ever growing media collection I know will always be there.

Although I find instructional videos helpful in understanding concepts, the knowledge is fleeting. Exercises would be helpful, but IMHO, sometimes you need the support of a cohort or TA to solve problems in a different way.
