[A new form of physics called assembly theory suggests that a moving, directional sense of time is real and fundamental. It suggests that the complex objects in our Universe that have been made by life, including microbes, computers and cities, do not exist outside of time: they are impossible without the movement of time. From this perspective, the passing of time is not only intrinsic to the evolution of life or our experience of the Universe. It is also the ever-moving material fabric of the Universe itself. Time is an object. It has a physical size, like space. And it can be measured at a molecular level in laboratories.]

"exceed $25 million in revenue, and meet one of these criteria:

Control or process information of 25,000 or more Tennessee consumers per year and derive more than 50% of gross revenue from the sale of personal information; or

Control or process information of at least 175,000 Tennessee consumers. ...
"

At least for this one, appears no need for a startup to have lawyers just for this, and if your start up gets to $20 million, you can afford the ~$400 to create another llc and split your income and not worry about it until you start making 49 million per year.

<- makes a saas that auto-creates a new llc every time company A gets 174k customers.

Shipping.

That's exactly what the Nostromo was: a shipping container. They were hauling goods from one planet to another for some (profitable) reason.

What we know now, however, is that a great deal of that could likely be automated / not require a crew. But even then: the Nostromo was massive with what could amount to a skeleton crew (half a dozen?). Container ships even today have more than that on them.
The Web PKI is built around centralized roots of trust, and survives because of concerted efforts to make those roots resilient, trustworthy (in terms of underlying ownership), and publicly auditable (with mechanisms like CT).

To the best of my knowledge, there has never been a successful decentralized PKI. Even the most successful uses of PGP are not decentralized; they're essentially private PKIs maintained by a small set of presumed trustworthy maintainers.
A (once?) popular one was BoneScript for BeagleBone.

Remember also that although the language may change frequently, that doesn't mean you have to keep up with those changes.

From Tesla (note this is for the Model Y, but is true for all models):

---------------
If regenerative braking is aggressively slowing Model Y (such as when your foot is completely off the accelerator pedal at highway speeds), the brake lights turn on to alert others that you are slowing down.

I had kind of assumed all electric cars did that, but I guess not.

Just slid in. I'm still exploring the platform, and I found the onboarding process a bit wonky - usually we just Github login into another PaaS, so when I did follow through the instructions to create a Github token (albeit with restricted access), Appliku detected all repositories except the Github repo (:edited:) that I had granted access to.

Now I'm in the DO process. The onboarding could be much smoother than that.
Yea the Tesla brakes work exactly how you would want. As soon as you start decelerating, even w/ regen, the lights kick in. Not sure how Hyundai messed it up after having an example..
I had to take so much criticism from people who through bizarre turn of luck had to manage me, but were so pathetically bad at what they were doing, I just learned to ignore the criticism.

The difficult part is to make myself take people seriously when they criticize something I did.

For example, I had a boss who didn't like that I used Emacs and tried everything in his power to get me fired because of that. He would change the text of the ticket I worked on the last moment to look like I haven't done what was requested, or deliberately assign me to worthless / tedious manual-labor kind of projects, specifically assign me to work on various design / documentation documents which were stored in Perforce in MS Word format etc. I could quit any time, but the thought that he'd suffer more from having me around than I would from having to deal with his antics won. I realized that watching stupid people suffer as the result of their stupidity is kind of fun. Also, I got paid to do nothing of value. That was ironic, given I could actually do quite a bit for the company I worked for. But, hey, I bought myself a very fancy bike eventually, when I decided to move on, with all that severance money!
The Mustang Mach E is somewhat similar, if I remember correctly.

When slowing down with regenerative breaking it triggers the lights based on how fast it’s slowing down.

So if it’s just a tiny bit (slowing from 35 to 30 over a few seconds) it won’t kick on, but from 70 to 35 over a few seconds would.

Every time I'm reminded of this law, specifically the year of its passing, I'm newly surprised. With some digital authoritarian laws, I'm acutely aware that they are only recent history (eg FOSTA, DMCA, bank surveillance, "Patriot" act). But with the NETA and the CFAA I have to work at remembering that things weren't always this way, as recently as only a few decades ago. Like imagine the different world we could be living in if they had failed at becoming law and things had developed without them.
> Indexes are such an easy thing to add.

Indexes can have catastrophic consequences depending on the access patterns of your table. I use indexes very sparingly and only when I know for sure the benefit will outweigh the cost.
Easy: “Tomorrow, I’ll be better. The day after, even better than that.”

I think we're in agreement here; this is the part where I said "Several examples are so trivial that you'd be crazy to use an external database at all". For your shell history, you not only don't need indexes, you don't need the database either (as you conclude in the post). But if you're already in the database, it falls into that first "the index feature is right there" category. This HN thread is full of people skipping the index on their SQL tables in situations where I would write the index. Mostly I think people are just missing that you need to write indices in response to queries rather than what you're imagining when you first create the table.

THAAD is what you deploy to a place like South Korea where that 200km radius covers the entire country. For protecting something like the US mainland, you would use GMD, which can cover large sections of the continent.

But even if you did just have to build large numbers of short range interceptors, that's still perfectly acceptable. Likewise for upkeep and maintenance. You don't need to protect everything, you only need to protect the targets that justify the cost.
Ask HN: Is it possible to opt out of Bard conversation collection?

We'll likely add complementary AI models (e.g. super-resolution, stable diffusion, etc), with the broad bet being that businesses definitely don't want to run their own service, and would prefer off-the-shelf to custom models (for which there's a bunch of hosting options).

For background removal specifically, all models will inevitably have some failure rate. https://clippingmagic.com is the only one with a serious editor that enables you to get exactly the result you want on any image (it's our legacy service with "old-school" SaaS pricing).

Interesting topic, terrible (IMO) title.
If you truly have no control over what you think and feel, then you are lucky. You can satisfy yourself with enjoying the ride, free from the burden of being responsible for yourself. If you have so little control that you cannot even take solace in the knowledge that you have no control, then obviously this philosophy will only bring misery to you. In which case, why adhere to it? If you have so little control that you cannot even free yourself from a philosophy that makes you miserable, then try hitting your head with rocks or hard drugs. With enough brain damage, anything can be forgotten. Even unproductive philosophies.

What does it mean to privately issue a dollar?
Constructive feedback is useful. Why should I feel bad about it? I feel grateful that someone helps me improve.

In the case of a snarky comment, I would assume the reviewer has some personal issues. I feel bad for them, not me.

A honest mistake is not really a mistake. I would do the same thing again if I were in the same situation. The fact that I couldn't have known about it is someone else's mistake.

Maybe dig a little deeper why you feel bad about it: Do you consider your self-worth lowered? Do you worry how others think of you now? Trace your bad feelings to a reason as specific as possible. Then figure out if is actually true. For example, you made an honest mistake, a team mate pointed it out in a review, and now you think the tech lead considers you a bad coder. If you dare, you can directly ask the tech lead. Just thinking about it might already help you realize it is silly though. Ok, to be honest you could realize that it is actually the case that your tech lead now hates you. That is still progress because now you have a concrete problem instead of vague bad feelings.
And this is where I take a minor quabble with TC. He thought that GM “over engineered” the volt’s brake light system because it used an accelerometer. But honestly I think it is the easiest way. The only “trick” is to make it stay on once stopped (I’m sure there are conditions when you wouldn’t want them on when stopped though).

In fact it looks like the new standards are going to be defined by the rate if deceleration regardless of the means used to do so. Which means basing the lights on an accelerometer is the most reliable way to meet the spec. It shouldn’t matter how you are slowing down, just that you are.
You must despise 2001 then.
I think what that company (anabrid) does is exactly building an FPAA.

Important to note that effectiveness is a relative term.

One thing they ought to track in these studies is infections in both the boosted group and control group. Effectiveness can wane for multiple reasons:

1. Antibodies want

2. Variants shift and the booster is less effective

3. The control group caught covid and gained immunity

If your control group gets infected and gains immunity, the booster will seem less effective. But it wasn't waning, unlike causes #1 or #2.

The study period ends Oct 2022. 2022 was the year most of the population caught sars-cov-2 at some point.
This is word soup just for the sake of using lots of fancy words. Be more concise ChatGPT... Bard is often better here

If ChatGPT did write this, as you allude to, then you didn't check your work. These counter arguments are distracted and irrelevant at times...

> Rather than being a monolithic linguistic equalizer

This has very different meaning than "language averager", from words to model (during training), vs linguistic equalizer, model to words (after training)

> it could be seen as a tool, a canvas with a wide spectrum of applications.

Yes, ofc, but we are talking about writing specificly, this is trending towards whataboutism.

> Sure, some may choose to use it as a crutch, diluting their creativity, yet others might harness it as a springboard, leveraging it to explore new ideas and articulate them in ways they might not have otherwise.

This is the point, not contrary to what has been said. The issue is with the crutch users. We know many people do this, yet this topic is barely mentioned, let alone addressed as the core of the discussion.

> ... the notion that ChatGPT could 'bring down' the more skilled among us ... Isn't it possible that the 'upper echelons' might find novel ways...

That is what I said

> but again, isn't it contingent on how it's used?

again, this is what I said, not reflecting this shows how limited this reply is in debate and argumentation

> What if ChatGPT could serve as a tutor, teaching us the art of brevity?

More whataboutism, irrelevant to the more focused discussion at hand

> So, while I understand and respect your concerns, I posit that our apprehensions should not eclipse the potential that tools like ChatGPT offer us. It might not just be a 'parrot' – but a catalyst for the evolution of human communication.

Sam might disagree here... though I do not completely. Why did it switch to "our" all of the sudden?

Not sure where I said it, but I have put forth the idea that it could, _could_, improve communication for many, by acting as a filter or editor. Again the issue at hand is that _many_ will not use it as a tool but as a replacement, there are many lazy people who do not want to write and will subsequently not critically read the output...

---

>> the issue is that many will substitute rather than augment

This is the core statement of my argument, "many" has been interpreted as something more, not partial. That it is lost within the reply is not surprising... a distracted and largely irrelevant word soup

In summary, this is the low quality writing one might come to expect from ChatGPT primary output, assuming the allusion is correctly interpreted... be clear if you use it

And sibling comments show that lack of critical reading and fawning for anything ChatGPT, whether it was or was not, people are assuming so based on your last ambiguous sentence.
My VW ID.4 does this correctly: the brake lights come on whenever the car slows down, which could be because I pressed the brake pedal or because I released the accelerator pedal in "B" mode.

The software on this car sucks really badly in too many ways to describe here, but this part they got right.
Solved problem. My Teslas have always activated brake lights based on deceleration. My wife's Bolt does as well, though it does have a glitch -- once it comes to a complete stop, it turns off the brake lights if you don't have your foot on the brake. Tesla gets it right, keeps the brake lights on until you start to move again.
The answer will heavily depend on what you're doing.

CRUD patterns where you're pulling out a small group of rows from several tables, you probably want indexes on `JOIN` clauses so that you can quickly find those links using nested loop index scans. And maybe a few indexes on common ways to find records.

Analytics patterns where you're aggregating a large number of rows, indexing `JOIN`s won't help you, because you really want hash or merge joins anyway. Instead, tune your indexes for `WHERE` clauses, because you want a filtered index scans instead of table scans on the reads.

You also want to learn about cardinality and selectivity. Ideally your indexes are organized by selectivity.
Yes! I am trying to recall what was mentioned that can make assets for this.

I think it's a combination of factors. One is, it's easy to get trapped in a cycle of not moving and becoming increasingly weaker and fatter, but the other is our toxic lifestyle of high stress. Lots of people are making subsistence incomes because they can barely survive the low pay out there in society. They are exhausted and don't have time to walk, which loops back to one.

It's true though, many places don't have sidewalks and there are many drivers that like to swerve or act threatening to anything that is not another truck, so this also plays a role in disincentivizing people from sharing the road.

I can. I’m just pointing out there are definitely cases where indexing sucks. I agree the original post doesn’t touch those cases.

There are many libraries, but the peripherals on modern microcontrollers are wildly configurable and the odds of any particular library supporting every single mode possible is essentially nil. And even if it did, then the library documentation would approach the chip documentation in terms of complexity.
Okay, well the article as written and interpreted using conventional english is inaccurate. Maybe what they meant to say would have been accurate.
Wouldn't it be easier to just put some light pressure on your break pedal while you're engine breaking? My older Acura definitely lights up the break lights well before actually engaging the brakes.
OK, so your ministers are targeted, but everyday citizens are not. It's now trivial to work around sanctions and they don't matter at all. When your sanctions are symbolic, that's fine. When they're meant to actually have an economic impact, that doesn't work. There's an argument for fomenting dissent against the government causing the sanctions, too. If there were good, easy solutions, it wouldn't be the conflict that it is.
I just can't get my head around this. Sure, Nvidia is in a good position with AI and Data Centre. I absolutely think they're in a great position and they're going to sell a lot of chips. But they're trading at 200 times earnings? I don't see how anyone could reasonably justify that. And not only that, but while yes, the earnings are good, surely the AI hype cycle has pulled forward a decent amount of demand, it's a race to acquire enough GPUs, but Nvidia are quite obviously going to be supply constrained. I don't know, I just find it difficult to understand how this price could possibly be justified.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_for_Sale:_The_War_Profite...

I dunno if it’s “luck”. Nvidia in particular made a big bet more than a decade ago on GPU’s having strong aptitude for important general computation problems. Turns out they were right.
Where does it say they manually tested thousands? It sounds to me like they manually tested 240.
Worth noting is that even if the regulations could be worded better, nothing is stopping Hyundai from doing it correctly. It's not forbidden by regulation, most other manufacturers get it right.

FWIW, most DBMS have built-in index usage stats, and it's not too difficult to query. In my previous job we had a Postgres health dashboard that notably showed `log10(index size) / index hits`, making it pretty clear when some recently added index was useless.

My opinion is that indexes should be either logical (ex: used for exclusion constraints) or purely for performance (tradeoff space for better QPS). Query patterns change, specs change, so monitoring your DB's performance is the way to go.
Curious if I could find another interesting way to learn math for someone who hasn't gone to college, I asked chatGPT to cluster 20 animal emojis by taxonomy and use them to explain Affinity Propagation like I'm 5 year old. (I'm an idiot.) More or less, the lion emoji wants to be friends with the tiger emoji more than the dog emoji with some explanation of the math and math symbols in between.

```
For example, when Scar wanted to be king, he sent a "responsibility" message to the other big cats, trying to convince them that he should be the leader. However, the "availability" message he received back was weak because most animals didn't trust him.

Meanwhile, Simba sent out a strong "responsibility" message showing he could be a good leader, and in return, he got a strong "availability" message back with many animals showing support. That's why Simba was a better leader for the Pride Lands, according to Affinity Propagation!
