Are you talking about a technical problem, or a conceptual problem?

By technical, I mean something like "The service keeps crashing roughly once a week and we can't figure it out."

By conceptual, something like "How do I hire the best engineers within my tiny budget?" or "How do we get SOC2 certification even though we do this or that poorly?"

In either case, I always start with building an understanding of the problem. Gather what you do know about it. Write down why it is hard. Note any contradictions. Note things you don't know, such as terminology, concepts, or data that is not available.

Next, research the things you don't know. Look up the terminology. Read up on the concepts. See what you need to do to get the data. At this point, you don't need perfect answers. Anything that improves your knowledge and understanding is a step in the right direction.

At this point you should be able to talk about the problem in clear terms. It should be clear what you know and what you don't know. Tackle the unknowns now. Take steps to make them known. Read. Talk to people. Observe.

At some point you might run into contradictions. Think long and hard if they are really contradictions, or if you are making some assumptions incorrectly which are leading to a contradiction. What if you change some assumptions? Does the contradiction go away?

If the contradictions seem firm, see if you can redefine the problem ina different way that removes the contradiction. Solving this other problem might not solve the original problem, but it might make the situation better. It might mitigate the problem.

This is not a straight path. It's applying the learning loop iteratively. Assess where you are. Decide on a next step to change something. Take those steps. Repeat.

I wouldn't say I need the program to grow with more features, but at the bare minimum they should have been more diligent with cutting releases after accepting bug fixes, instead of letting those contributions langish on the main development branch out of reach for users.

I mean it would be understandable if the maintainers didn't have the time to keep working on it at all, but clearly the review work was done to accept some patches so why not make .point releases to allow the fixed code reach users via their distribution's channels?
You are right actually.

It's a bug, that missed my test somehow.

Will fix.

> the difference between driving one and a Tesla is night and day.

The one thing I absolutely hated about driving a Tesla was regenerative breaking. They should’ve made it optional.

I loved the Ford Mach-e GT.

Consumer Reports had it as the best EV for reliability.
I don't think you can really generalize that easily. Where I live, street parking with a residential permit is way cheaper than renting a spot in a garage, and I know other big cities have similar schemes.
Meetup is an example. There are many.
Sure, I agree.

The counter that I would offer is what are the time-based consequences of us getting something wrong? How quickly do the wheels fall off so to speak?

With cars, which we can say came to be around the 1920s, we didn't start to care about safety or environmental concerns until maybe the 1960s/70s. In that sense, we did some damage and corrected our trajectory 40-50 years later and have been improving them further ever since.

I would say social media evolved much more quickly and the consequences accumulated faster. Specifically around protecting kids (from the beginning we should have had protections in place to keep kids off social media or in a protected version; likewise, parents shouldn't have been allowed to plaster pictures of their kids online.. effectively monetizing them).

So social media went wrong and it went wrong pretty quickly. The odds of us fixing it before a lot more damage is done are low because social media companies also have a lot more power and lobby our government in ways auto could only dream of.

The pace of AI adoption/use will likely match or exceed social media and the consequences of "getting it wrong" will accumulate that much more quickly. Not saying we turn it off, but we should have protective frameworks in place early on or we will do some irreversible damage in excess of social media and at a quicker pace.
Either you do it yourself, or your task someone else with that research task. The promise of autonomous agents is that they do the grunt work for you, but even though I'm really excited about the concept, it doesn't work all that well yet.

Also US and European cars are always a little different, even if it is the same model. Take brake and turn signals for instance. There are different regulations, and at that point it is a different SKU anyway.
Hmm, it doesn't really solve. You removed all margins and when zooming out you get a screen really full of content.
Precisely why I abandoned Tor and shut down my relays. It went from a technical project that solved an interesting problem to a "human rights" project that wanted to shape the world in a liberal Western fashion. That's a no-no from me.

If I understand correctly what "conflicting" means, that process can't possibly result in an empty clause, as in Resolution refutation proofs, correct?

What would be the gold standard reference for CDCL? Something that would be taught at an undergraduate class, say?

Edit: after reading a bit on the net it seems like clause learning in CDCL is basically Resolution-derivation by input Resolution. Cool beans.

there are just 3 possible options:

2. They are very easily influenced by marketing.
3. They are just trolling.

Comma is a product you can buy all code is opensource. All others is just a service, where people could theoretically just be diving remote and they sell it as self driving.
It would be interesting to re-test past 5 star NCAP cars in 2023, see how they hold up.
>>A MEMS accelerometer is pennies.

That's an dishonest argument (perhaps not intentionally). NOTHING is "pennies" to a consumer when it comes to repairing a vehicle. More frequently, you pay $1,500 in labour and parts to replace something that costs "pennies" in some bulk manufacturer wholesale catalogue.

Modern cars are getting more and more awesome, in terms of safety and convenience; but the sticker shock when going to dealership for repair is also becoming bigger and bigger, and it absolutely is intertwined with the significant effort to make 3rd party or even self-repair difficult to impossible.

So again, IFF this is an easily replaceable part that is thought-through and cross-checked intelligently with other existing sensors, brilliant. But can you at any level understand my skepticism that any of these are true? :)
> If I rent from my neighbour for $10k a year, and he rents from me for $10k a year, GDP increases by $20k a year, but nothing has really changed, expect the amount of money paid in taxes.

Not really because even if you are living in your own paid-off house, the rent will be added to the GDP.

> If I do the gardening myself, and he does the painting himself, GDP doesn't increase.

There is a law being worked out somewhere (probably Europe) that will tax any activity you are doing. If you paint your garage, this activity will be evaluated financially and you'll have to pay taxes on it. Not doing so is tax evasion.

I had some gut issues and switching jobs to WFH friendly made it all gone away. It's much easier to change your bad habits when you have more control of your environment. It wasn't in COVID times though, it was around 2015.
So often I read so many utterly ridiculous economic opinions expressed here by people who should know better and be better educated.

How can a smart, presumably educated person not know that rent counts as economic activity?

To say the world is poorer than in 2008 is just utterly preposterous.

Per capita GPD in China went from 3500 to 12500.
India 1000 to 2200.

There is half the world. US, Canada and Europe is only 15% of the population but I don't know how the case can be made we are poorer than in 2008 either.
He can’t even say that.
I've been unable to find a source either way. Can you help?

Just looking casually at topo maps and assuming the worst case I've seen (all land and sea ice melts, resulting in sea water rising 250'), the land we'll lose in coastal regions and major river basins is smaller than what we'll gain near the poles. Farming just Antarctica would probably produce enough food to feed the world several times over.

Edit: This isn't to say that worst case scenario wouldn't displace high percentages of the population or that that isn't a major issue; however, it's not an insurmountable obstacle given the gradual nature of the change.
Call me weird but what I want is a Corolla EV. No dashboard overhaul. No autonomy. No other “rethinks.”
No, the first one is still much harder – and still seems easier to the layperson.
> I think in general there's a somewhat unfounded notion that someone is actually in control that's getting harder to defend in the light of what's been several decades of fairly public failures to address obvious problems in society. You to look very hard to find examples of public policy successfully addressing any sort of problem, and even in that case it's questionable whether the problem was actually solved or whether it's just a case of regression to the mean.

I think it's obvious by now when all that began: with the collapse of the USSR and Yugoslavia in the early 90s. With the corrective against capitalism lost, everything defaulted to greed in the following decades.

Before that, humanity showed many times over that it could cooperate on critical crises and to ban dangerous stuff: sulphur in fuel was banned after "acid rain", lead and asbestos were banned, CFCs were banned after the ozone hole, nuclear weapon tests were all but abolished, biological and chemical weapon developments as well. Even the right to wage wars of aggression was under pretty solid control.
I look for different ways of representing the problem domain or the desired outcome. This will improve your vocabulary/toolbox for reasoning about and subdividing them into more approachable units.

Wheel mounted electric motors are not that new. The problem of wheel mounted electric motors is the problem of the unsprung mass[0]. The thing is, that you don't want such things, at least for higher speeds.
Also Schaeffler was working its version of the E-drive wheel for years. Just another release of another (new) version about 10 years ago[1].

Also working on inductive charging is nothing new. Just from the release, it is unknown how god that worked. I new research that is more than 10 years old on inductive charging for cars like in parking spots or at a traffic light. The problem of inductive charging still today is, if you are not perfectly aligned you will waste a lot of energy. That is why the charging in the smart phone are all have magnets. That's to guarantee a perfect position. Should car snap in place, when you are in your parking spot?

So while this release is interesting, it should not be to exaggerated.

They can even put a small speaker that simulates the sound of a tractor. Volvo can do the same with their EVs, and optionally include extras such as roof leaks and faulty electronics to stay on brand.
Business models based on conflicts of interest, obfuscation of important aspects, manipulation, surreptitious use of information, etc. will always create damage.

Conflicts of interest generate damage.

That is what AI products and services need to avoid.

Facebook is a scrapbooking company that requires very few resources to host tiny posts, …

… wrapped in a megacorp that harnesses vast computing resources in order to manipulate its users into watching ads for hours, making maximal unnecessary purchases, instead of occasionally perusing their friends and families posts.

All the dysfunction, the constant emotional hooks, the rage addictions being fed, the casino aspects of trashy doom scroll content, etc. grow like weeds into an ever more complex jungle, because … conflicts of interest.

It is easy to forget that only 1% of the company’s activity, or maybe 1% of that, is actually needed to host our tiny posts. An extremely basic task.
General rule of thumb for all reviews is to ignore the star ratings, read the most helpful negative reviews. Think critically about them. See if there are themes or if they’re being unreasonable.

XFS metadata corruption after upgrade to 6.3.3 kernel
It probably would, but if you're implying this would absorb a lot of CO2, I don't think so, plants die and when they do they decompose and release the CO2 back into the atmosphere. The conditions are not really met for a new carboniferous era right now and it took millions of years.
What's insane about those scenarios?
It is a grey area, spreadsheets are great but at some point you are building a mammoth with it. I also find Excel, and Google Sheets outdated on its own "form-factor".

It would be great to hear from the HN community about ways to improve spreadsheets. For example, adding new types and easier integrations with other systems. Also having views/forms. Lotus Notes was revolutionary in this aspect. Excel is the measure because they have a good engine. Probably we need to create a great DAG engine and put the spreadsheet over it.

I like how the Wikipedia page on 2SAT explains the use of Resolution:

>> Resolution, a method for combining pairs of constraints to make additional valid constraints, also leads to a polynomial time solution.

"Constraints" being a slightly odd-sounding way to put it, to me anyway, but I guess that's because I don't have the relevant background to think of clauses that way.

It's not similar. Unfortunately, "original" is one of the words with a couple of very close but different meaning. This one even goes first in the dictionary:

> Existing at the beginning of a particular period, process or activity.

The original meaning of the root "origin" comes from Latin: to rise -> beginning, source birth.
This is not what freedom of the press means to me - I think you are using the wrong metric.

This is like when old people claim that Person X is not poor because they have a smartphone.

They still think about smartphones as a luxury item and do not understand that in Lambeth London you can't even register a birth and get a birth certificate without a smartphone.

What's alarming is that younger orcas are learning how to do it:

Money pays devs, not market share. It's obvious in a small market with few competitors (my company pays 10k € /yr for a simulation software seldomly used), but it's still true imo in a large market with many. Competitors that uses tracking and have more users, will often have more money for dev and advertisement, and there is the risk that webdevs won't care for the browser (already happening), but it still can work, even more if it noticabely better or pertains to uses cases not covered by others.
Good for them, I guess?

> I honestly don't get the obsession with top speed and power, and I live in Germany.

I do live in Germany too and routinely drive above 140 where allowed on the autobahn - it's a pleasure. So yes it does actually impact me, in a very real way.

Additionally:

- Top speed of 220+ means you accelerate from 130 to 160 easily, so you can safely pass the slowpoke ahead while not becoming an obstacle to faster traffic. A top speed of 160 means it'll take you a whole lot longer.

- A car with a top speed of 150 is at its limit at 150. Brakes are sized for that, wheels are chosen with that in mind, you better be going in a straight line, it's gonna be uncomfortably noisy, etc. You have very little margin for anything. One designed to reach 220 or 250 is basically in the middle of its comfort zone at 150, with ample safety margins on every metric and a more comfortable ride.

--Edit: I'd like to add a reference to the lower tier cars to my reply. I quoted the Zoe because my partner has it, so I'm quite familiar using it and it's really really fun in the city, it's perfect.
I'm lamenting the big gap between Zoe and Tesla with nothing worth buying in between and the fact that I'm being asked 15-25k EUR extra compared to the Zoe, with hardly more car, which is an awful bargain as you reach the Tesla price with half assed specs. I may not care so much about speed and power (I do, that's another story) but I do care to get something worth my money, and all these other cars aren't.
