I think someone shows how the human element is still extremely needed, alongside slow methodical process to limit the amount of "jumping the gun" that this presents, just because you can, doesn't always mean you should kinda thing.
These are 2 separate issues you're discussing.

> remember the time when GM said it’s not going to include CarPlay in its vehicles? And how most of hn was in revolt?

Most OEM's made terrible infotainment software that is outdated, lacking features and often extremely sluggish and clunky to use. CarPlay and Android Auto are able to bring modern features OEM's can't seem to figure out, like Google Maps integration instead of some terrible maps implementation that is outdated, as in not having addresses added in the last few years, not just "old" and cumbersome to use. I can just open up google maps on my phone, type an address and directions appear on my screen. Same with music streaming apps like Spotify.

> here comes News that says we should get rid of touchscreens, why is hn supporting this?

Not eliminate touchscreens entirely, but rather stop putting every single control they possibly can into them making vehicles dangerous to operate. Putting climate, radio, lighting, etc... into a touch screen, especially when buried in sub-menus, is just lazy cost cutting. The other big complaint are touch capacitive "buttons" and sliders. They're distracting and difficult to use, especially on anything but perfectly smooth roads. For example, the Cayenne's interior is basically just a wall of touch capacitive "buttons"[1] that you can't easily reach down to press with your eyes on the road, you have to look down at it. The other issue is feedback from it. Constant beeping from input on menus, like Toyota, just becomes obnoxious. Buttons provide instant mechanical feedback that does't lave you guessing if you pressed on the right spot. Here's a clip discussing some complaints about VW doing all of this to the Golf [2] and how frustrating it is to use.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had a couple of episodes set in San Francisco of the twenty first century that's looking more and more of an accurate prediction. It even had a wall to keep the impoverished away from the rest of society, so who knows how much more predictive it will end up being.

Just to make it clear, you're hearing one side of the argument. There are also a lot of people who firmly believe that Schmidhuber was wrongfully deprived of recognition he deserved.

I don't have a strong opinion one way or another, but the issue isn't as clear cut as your parent comment might have made it sound like.
> Do they have to pay more license fees to include English subtitles?

Yes. I asked the customer service in Japan and they told me that subtitles are licensed separately.
> Certainly tire/brake pad wear shouldn't be covered but they were more ridiculous about it than that.

That wouldn't be under normal warranty either, those are wear elements.

Toyota also had some recent shit like that with GR86

It’s the distraction of having to pay attention to where you are in the UI navigation that sucks… tactile buttons on the wheel wouldn’t fix this if you only get to use them as a proxy for the same UI navigation.

Physical buttons for common car features should be non-modal and not context dependent, and in a consistent location you can memorize without looking. You should be able to pause the music without having to navigate to some UI submenu first. Same with climate control, volume, etc.
Spinny-dial-based input, with the dial located just behind the shifter (just in front of where the cupholders usually are), is the best input method developed for cars so far.

The forces the UI to be a flat list in terms of navigation (rather than a 2d-space-filling UX mess). And being a flat 1d list, it encourages the list be short, which means more submenus, which is good!

If menus are consistent, you can mostly control without taking your eyes off the road.

Apple CarPlay already works with this input method.
Car Play in my Mazda3 works just great with the knob control. I much prefer it than the touch-only controls in my Forester. In fact I’d go so far as to say it’s the best physical option.

For example, when I’m listening to a podcast I can turn the knob to highlight the skip forward button, and leave it there. Then when adds come on I can just feel for and press the knob without looking at the screen. In the Forester I have to awkwardly hold my arm out, breaking my hand with my thumb while I try to hit the right button. Usually I don’t bother because it feels too unsafe.

You can change what the forward/back buttons on the steering wheel do, such as changing them to skip, but then I’m In the same situation when I want to go to the next podcast or skip a few.
I have concerns about how technology is affecting our entertainment right now.

Forget the future, I'm talking about the Netflix/YouTube, etc. Obviously it's not all bad, there's amazing stuff out there.

But the professionally produced stuff? I don't want my entertainment produced from focus grouping and number crunching. I want entertainment that challenges me and makes me think, shows me something I haven't seen or felt before. The machine ain't solving for that.
These alternatives require that you take a risk else where, such as the military one where you're going to have to be enlisted.

>who indicated they should be compensated more for their hard labor. If only there was a way.

I feel like there's a missing /s there. If only we did have a way of compensating someone for their labor. Maybe we could call it a salary? If you're counting on a bonus to compensate for a lack in salary, then you should be having your union do its job and negotiate higher base salary. There's a reason a bonus is not called salary.

FYI, this is in no way a show a support for unionizing on my behalf. Just pointing out the fallacy of the argument as presented

I replaced the stereo in my ‘05 Tacoma with a new, touchscreen-with-CarPlay head unit. I hate not having a physical volume knob.

I do love the modern features. But hunting for that volume up/down button for a maddening while driving and unsafe.
> Gravity pulls down on the chair harder than on the air

That is usually not the way to express what you mean? Drop a feather and a brick on the moon and they take the same time to fall because gravity pulls down on them the same amount. But yeah, the actual forces on a brick and feather are different.

There is a pressure gradient from the top of the atmosphere to the bottom. So voluminous objects have more pressure pushing up on the bottom of an object than they do pushing down from the top - causing buoyancy (assuming the object is mostly surrounded by air). The buoyancy in this case is offset by gravity pulling down on the mass of the chair.

I think the question is a kind of trick question because it ignores buoyancy as a force, but the forces definitely exist. There is definitely a downward force by the air column above the chair, and there is definitely an upward force by the air below the chair (and also on the sides, but that nets out equally). 101kPa is significant!

The trick is that I think technically “A net downward force exerted by the air” on the chair exists as a negative number. But the question is not asking as though a physicist is answering precisely, even though it is asking precise questions about forces in physics. Annoying question with a trick - the worst kind - the kind of test question where you have to answer it “correctly”, not correctly.

Any of the above could be wrong or poorly explained, but that is what I think after reading the comments and thinking about it a little more.
Apple's Car Play has supported that from the beginning, since many of the first adopter cars didn't actually have touch screens, just screens.

Just to offer a different opinion, I prefer inferior controls to a touchscreen for settings.

Wheels and buttons respond faster, it forces vendors to be concise, and it doesn’t gunk up my screen.

Muscle memory forms quickly for anything that’s a “one and done” setting.
The ML folks pretty much nailed protein folding though. Where any of them phds in molecular bio or chemistry?

Yes - embeddings are a hack:

No - there won't anything like a "real API" unless there's a new discovery or a shift in the way LLMs are constructed. It's not theoretically impossible but there's no clear way to get guaranteed results from present day LLMs, all they do output guesses from their input text (combining prompt text and then user text).

Well, it is an advertised feature that explicitly states (althought under hidden footnote) that it breaks warranty so yeah, would be nice if someone tried to get them to court over it. I'd imagine they would be raked thru coals in EU

That I'd be doubtful about as AMD have no bearing about what options random motherboard vendor enables by default
My 2018 Mazda3 has the knob and a touchscreen. However the touchscreen is so poor I didn’t even know it was touch-sensitive for quite a while after I got it
I agree with you on ethnic favoring in some sense, but it’s a complex topic.

And white Americans have an entire culture reinforcing their customs, way of life, ways of interacting, etc. All this contributes to how a corporate culture is very accommodating to the dominant culture. For example Sunday as a weekend is not a mere cultural relic but actively supports a particular culture.

I see people often point to hard-working of Asian cultures to contrast against the “under performing” minorities like black culture. But I think this undersells a lot of structural discrimination and history.

Anyways, this is why I have skepticism towards “model minorities” wanting to integrate into white culture customs and assume a dominant position in society. A lot of the narrative of “hard-working immigrant” and cultural exceptionalism ignores the sociopolitical context of why certain minority groups are underprivileged.
Shutting down a third of something rather than all of it isn't "replacing nuclear" with it.

France's nuclear fleet is designed to use imports and exports to the rest of europe for storage to be economical. Somebody needs the storage.

These are just the same tired lies.
Firstly, if you worked there for 300K for 3.5 years you should have bank set aside. If you werent able to handle that there is very little youre going to gain by crying and lamenting on HN. Especially after this tech lay off there are tons of jobs to be had. Perhaps its not coding in your favorite language or reaching people in a different country but there is work to be had. It seems you have let yourself down on many levels. Stop expecting fame from a keyboard. Do your job, get paid, live your life.
I doubt this is true.

While many variable I suspect it's more about phases.

Company has a growth focus phase so the books are opened and people can hire away to get stuff done. There always more that can be done so they keep hiring, usually too many, til the company hits profit focus phase.

Then they look to cut costs, of which staff are typically a large variable component, they slash numbers, again probably too much, and then continue til they return to growth focus and repeat.
If UK couldn't function without Microsoft, that's reason for the UK to create its own ICT industries so that its ICT sector isn't controlled by foreigners.

Hmm. Anything that slows Google down and maintains a diversity of leaders in the field is ok with me.

Imagine a host of "helpful" Google AI's, Facebook AI's, Amazon AI's, etc., that know their very existence depends them monetizing you more effectively than competitive AI's.

Of course, the first versions will be very helpful. But continuous efforts to remain "the most helpful" will cost a lot, and eventually need to pay for themselves.

The only reason an authorisation server would support dynamic client registration, however, is because it's meant to be pluggable as the back-end for an API integration suite like Kong Enterprise.

The solutions that are one big well-known IdP have no reason to want it, so Google Auth, Amazon Cognito, and similar all don't support it.

The solutions that are aimed at letting organisations be an IdP do have reason to offer it: it makes being an IdP easier, because you can stand up a client registration service without using vendor-specific interfaces.

No-one who operates an IdP wants arbitrary, uncontrolled public client registration. It'll get abused directly, and it'll enable further abuse of the systems the IdP is meant to protect.
On that note, for those who were put off by Picard, season 3 was actually quite good. Definitely worth a watch.

And if you haven't seen any of it, I would almost say reading the episode summaries for the first two seasons is enough. Some of those first two seasons was just catastrophically bad, even by Star Trek standards.
Ah! Of all the cars I've owned (1) and rented (3+) that have it, all have had only touch screen input to it, as far as I noticed. Brb while I see if the Tune knob in my VW does anything in AA...
> Oracle and MySQL do not have this problem in their MVCC implementation because their secondary indexes do not store the physical addresses of new versions. Instead, they store a logical identifier (e.g., tuple id, primary key) that the DBMS then uses to look up the current version’s physical address.

This doesn’t have anything to do with MVCC. I’m sure PostgreSQL could implement an index format that piggybacks on another index rather than pointing at the physical page directly, without overhauling MVCC.
Ahh the ever incredible British optimist.
That's what we're saying though: that used to be true, it's not now (at least in my experience so far). JS does a lot by default that used to require jQuery. It's surprising and refreshing.

I still hate JavaScript and use it as rarely as possible, but even I of all people will concede that modern JavaScript has improved to the point where it can now stand alone.

Give me an example of something that takes a lot more code without jQuery? Maybe we'll both learn something by comparison?
> I thought no instance has reliable, complete, cross-fediverse search.

This is true.

> I thought no instance shows replies from across the fediverse.

I am not quite sure what you mean as I see replies from many different servers in the fediverse. Perhaps there are some replies I don't see, but I suppose then I would not know this.

> I've heard the protocol is too inefficient to support receiving everything.

This may limit some algorithmic features, but not everything. Servers could specifically make accessible their most popular posts of the day from users who consent to this in their settings. I could choose to subscribe to this list to be optionally sprinkled in to my algorithmic feed. I don't need to see every post on the fediverse for this to work. A good heuristic would be to subscribe to popular posts from every server that hosts one person I follow, and their could be some convenience function to select those servers for me. If I find that some servers are producing posts I don't care about, I could unsubscribe from that server in a little option under the algorithmically selected post.

I may only want to see popular posts from something like 20 servers, and I might only want to see the top ten most popular posts from them each day. That seems like a tractable request from my server to the ones I am following, and it does not require full fediverse search.
Thank you. That seems to be it. I don't think it's perfect, but it seems like a hell of a good improvement on the touch interfaces car companies try and come up with today that takes into account that a driver wants to use muscle memory and not stare at the screen.
I'm not exactly sure how it works, but mobile OS accessibility layers provide support for "switch" devices which are used by disabled people. So I don't know if this is limited to on/off switches, or variable knobs as well, but this may be the same sort of principle that would guide a car-based OS interface with physical controls on the dash.
That's basically what Audi has (at least in some older models): it's a scroll wheel that also works as a d-pad. It works pretty well with Android Auto (no experience with Apple Car Play). Mazda also has a similar-looking interface.

But it seems those two companies are moving towards touchscreens due to market demand.
I have seen a lot of people get caught up on things like the client_id, client_secret, redirect URL, and scopes. This is relevant when you have a lot of tenancies for your customers and want them to log in via some OAuth provider. Do you create a new client_id for every tenant? Should you distribute a client_secret? Did you properly configure the redirect? Proving identity is the easy part though. Are scopes too broad or too narrow to accomplish the app's goals? Are there unintended consequences? Those kinds of things can slow down development.
Why doesn’t the market just avoid the whole thing, which is toxic?
Works for me.

1. Reach over, grasp the screen under the target area using muscle memory.

Screen is strong as hell, you could put your full weight on it and it wouldn’t budge.

2. While continuing to hold the edge of the screen, move thumb to hover over suspected target area using muscle memory.

3. Glance and tap in one moment.

Done.

Not that I ever need to do this. Pretty much everything I need to do has a button. (And this in a car that the internet geniuses including here on HN are convinced does not have buttons).

If steps 1, 2, and 3 sounded distracting or hard, see again the part where I said “not that I ever need to do this” and why.

Migrating entire workload is way more fun and exciting than reading manual. How else are you going to demonstrate your impact!
In all honesty, though, "I have to look at the provider's documentation to determine like 4 URLs to add to a configuration" is not that wild of a thing? How much friction is too much friction?

> How do you validate tokens? (Either on the resource-server end, or on the client-end to know if trying to talk to a resource-server is a waste of time, or to know if your post-redirect-uri is getting spoofed):

At the beginning of the "standard" OAuth flow you can pass in client state. So you generate a signed nonce. Remember, you are starting this flow, so you mix in some user data (avoids CSRF problems), and you are pointing to some HTTPS site.

This is not 100% perfect compared to "remote server has some signing" but it does allow purely local verification of tokens when they are first received, as you can stick stuff into the "state" request parameter (as anyone should be anyways to avoid trickery).

Quite likely these older, experienced devs are either moving into management, or own their own consulting/contracting business, rather than be hired as an IC.

I love my trackpad in my Acura. I was hesitant at first, but after getting used to it, I think it's a great compromise.
Yeah I've just implemented it myself. Google, Microsoft and some other OIDC provider.

I abstracted it away behind a "token provider" interface, so I can just instantiate the right one for the job.

There's some incantations to get the request right, but I found most documentation decent so just follow that.

One service required I implemented RFC 8693 token exchange, which turned out to be trivial since I could represent it as one "token provider" instance wrapping another.

Failures can still be opaque though, especially when using the tokens.
