Agree that vision based wipers are meh. I think it has something to do with the position of the front facing cameras behind the windshield; water seems to just hit that spot differently vs where you look out.

My experience with the vision based parking system so far has been great though. The experience is pretty much the same in the vehicle as it was with ultrasonic sensors. There is also a pile of YouTube videos where you can see people testing weird scenarios and checking the on-screen distance from objects with a tape measure. It’s pretty solid.
This is not something that most users can reasonably do, especially for mobile.
Germany Enters Recession: Europe's Largest Economy Is Breaking Down
If you take the emissions from 2000 to 2010, the total is less than from 2010 to 2020. [1] Hence the keeling curve of concentration should be steeper in 2010 to 2020. [2] That indeed is the case.

Please consider this is not a problem that we either solve or not solve. We are at 423.70 ppm CO2 today*, which is 2.43 ppm more than last year. It is not that every increment above 0 ppm means we failed to solve the problem.

Let's say we reduce that 2.43 ppm increment to 1 ppm at some point. Or even to 2.41 ppm. Does that mean we failed? In a way, yes. But was the effort meaningless? No, the 1.43 ppm we didn't put out in the atmosphere really had an impact, and in a similar way, the 0.02 ppm we reduced also had a real impact on actual people. Both would translate to less sealevel rise, less floods, droughts, storms, heatwaves, biodiversity loss, etc. Which means a reduction of death, migration, hunger, suffering, extinction, chaos, economic loss, etc.

I know your question is about adaptation and not mitigation, but we need to get out of the either/or mindset. Every single action we take to reduce our emissions matters. I mean that in a very matter of fact way, not as a call to action. It is just technically incorrect to think it does not matter (though by no means I am implying you specifically think so).

I know exactly what you mean. I worked for years in research in a problem I was not sure it could be solved. Here is the advice I could offer you:

- Determine what is the problem. Easier said than done. You most likely don't understand the problem. Finding the right abstractions to understand what is the problem is half the work. Focus on that a lot early on.

- You will not solve the problem by sitting for two hours and trying to think of a solution. Accept that. If it is a hard problem, it will take you months of thinking, writing prototypes/solutions, trying different angles. And then, at a random moment it will click, and the solution will feel obvious.

- Iterate a lot. Start with something small, solve it, and do it again and again. Accept that you will fail hundreds of times until finding the right solution. Try to make the process enjoyable. If it is a research project, break it into parts, where the solution of each small part provides value (a paper), so that you can enjoy some success that keep you working. If it is a startup, build products that provide value and are in the road to solving the big product.

- Some problems can be solved in a phd, some in a career, some in a generation. If you are targeting poverty, accept that you will spend your life on that with the hope of making small progress.

Tips and Tricks for Building Rock Solid Embedded Software
Another fun effect of less overall emissions growth from burning fossil fuel, whether due to decline in global economic activity or emissions target regulations, is a specific reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions. (Atmospheric SO2 has a cooling effect and, sort of, mitigates CO2 driven warming. One terraforming idea is to just increase atmospheric SO2, which obviously has problems of its own; see Venus...)
HuggingFace Demo: DragGAN
I have no proper knowledge about natural carbon sinks, their capacity and remaining capabilities. But from the amateur point of view I think there are 3 main possibilities - vegetation, ocean and permafrost.

Permafrost won't help because first the planet need to cool down a lot and start general cooling trend. And we will be heating up the atmosphere due to existing gasses. So it's a dead end.

Vegetation is a linear carbon sink. Because microbes decompose dead vegetation and release gasses back in the atmosphere, the most of the captured carbon in vegetation must be in the actual alive plants. And number of alive plants scales linearly with the area we humans leave for them. Since humanity is increasing in numbers and each human demands more and more land to be used, I highly doubt that we can spare a lot of arable land for a NEW vegetation. So that's also dead end.

And at last oceans. I have no idea what is the capture mechanism of an ocean and how much carbon on it's own it can capture permanently. Maybe yes, maybe no. But considering that a) we are acidifying oceans, b) overfishing them, c) raise sea levels, d) heat up oceans - all this together would probably hamper natural carbon capture capabilities of an ocean.

So maybe this is possible. But I haven't heard a lot about such possibility from scientists, and I doubt it's a solution for our problem. Until some research will be done at least.
Right, if it was a part of an existing design tools, but this appears to be entirely separate thing ?

In most cases the "fiddly things humans" do appear more in more complex design. Keyboards and LEDs matricses like this are kinda edge case, in most if you have that many parts you have to be careful, especially if it is mixed analog/digital design.
That would be more reasonable. Carbon offsets turned out to be not reliable because companies are gaming the system and an international way of making sure this does not happen seems unrealistic.

But I personally expect things to just get worse and worse in the next few decades.
Capitalism will not slow down and climate change effects will increase, driving migration into rich countries, causing societal uproar and reduced quality of life for everybody.

Wouldn't an increase in co2 in the atmosphere spur a massive plant growth, both on land and in the oceans? I have no qualifications nor merit in this field as well, so anyone please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
There are quite a few of those once great brands that ran into trouble: Saab, Volvo, Jaguar...

There are three cases to cover:

2. The value at the path exists and is null.

3. The value at the path doesn't exist.

jj seems to potentially confuse 1 and 2 without the -r flag. "middle": "null" and "middle": null more specifically. It probably confuses "middle": "" and missing value as well, that's 1 and 3.

When this gets posted on HN, most of the comments are about how it's more common for answerers to incorrectly suggest that it's an XY problem, when it really isn't.

I think this is because most HN commenters are pretty good at programming already. Chances are, they're asking about more esoteric issues, and have considered the problem in detail before writing the question. So when someone suggests the question is an XY-question, it's probably not.

But the bulk of people asking programming questions are not very skilled. They're newbies. They have weakly developed mental models and taxonomies, they don't have much experience of independent debugging, they don't know how to effectively read documentation, and they haven't developed the meta-cognition needed to recognize that a strategy is probably unsound. And they don't have experience with "technical forum culture" (e.g. give a minimum reproducible example, or even basic things like how to format code properly). Many of them are literally kids or teenagers asking about homework problems, so on top of the lack of programming maturity, there's a lack of everything-maturity.

That big latter group is where most of the XY problems are coming from. I can tell you from answering lots of questions on beginner-friendly forums, 95% of the time someone says "this is an XY problem", they are right.
I'd be interested in how many times each car had to be seen by the manufacturer, rather than full breakdowns (i.e. at the side of the road, can't continue the journey). EVs should be much more reliable in terms of full breakdowns, but with all of the complex systems I've seen more small things go wrong.

> the planet is fucked

The planet will be fine. It will be different, but that's a normal thing in its 4 billion year history.

Whether it will be habitable for humans is a different question. I suspect we'll adapt (like we did for the last ice age), but I'm no expert.

On the bright side, more heat and CO2 means more arable land and better growing environment. Veggies and grazing animals are all I need to get by, food wise.

No, this positions Tesla to be an energy middleman. They're not finding and distributing energy, just reselling it at a markup.

Play. We often use that word to mean "not serious" or "not work", but children's play is an effort to do exactly what you are talking about - to understand what is possible. Humans are among the most adaptive creatures known. We adapt by trying things, not being successful and then playing with possibilities. If you have anxiety/paralysis about that process then I suspect that is not self-inflicted but inflicted by other people or the institutions you participate in.

There is another factor that causes problems for many people. They don't really give a <insert-obscentity-here> for what they are doing. Bad jobs, stupid ways of doing things, senseless tasks. Just say no. :-)

And finally, we often forget how physically competent we are. Humans can run and walk for hours and hours once they get use to it. Go walk 10 miles. Or better yet run. It helps.
The GDP is a measure of economic activity, meaning the exchange of money for products or services. Of course there are activities, such as the ones you describe, that will not be accounted because they are done for free or in exchange for something else.

> How about me looking after my old parent vs me working overtime and paying a care home to do it?

Yes of course the latter will have an impact on the GDP, and the former not. You are producing more work for money and you are buying more work for money.
For some reason, lately I’ve been depressed on practically a daily basis by the death of Saab (maybe due to playing a lot of DCS and flying the Viggen; also in no small part due to my first car being a Saab). Lots of their cars continue to look quirky-great today (like the Viggen). I wish they continued to exist as an alternative Euro sedan, but alas.

Given the demographics of the Saab customer base, I think it could have been an interesting and canny move if GM had launched the Volt as a Saab. I think they expected it to become a super mainstream vehicle, and so they were never going to relegate it to a niche brand, but in retrospect it might have been an optimal move - maybe it could have saved Saab and not been a disappointment for Chevrolet. All they would have had to do was stick the start button between the front seats and turn it over to the designers in Sweden to give the interior and exterior a quick once-over gloss.

One of my kids is going to start driving next year. I’m shopping used Saabs and trying to convince my wife to let me get one for the kiddo. No luck so far.

Which part of their promotion do you find toxic?
They really underplayed their lack of compromise on things like safety and whatnot tbh.
People should have seen them as quality above and beyond and be willing to pay a lil premium for that but i'd guess the average person saw em as fairly mediocre.

I'm not scandinavian but kinda wish Sweden had been protectionist towards saab (& finland to do the same with nokia). That kind of protectionism shouldn't be as looked down on as it is especially when it's prevented so selectively and the lack of it has lead to a less broad, less competitive market in many areas.

There's still Koenigsegg, volvo/polestar & related, scania, etc but other than koenigsegg those are all foreign owned now.
Yes, to put it simply, the rate of emissions stopped increasing but we are still emitting what we were in 2010 (plus a bit) so the keeling curve goes straight instead of continuing to subtly bend upwards.

This sounds exactly how Starship is being built. And this is why the first prototype not making orbit is not "a failure" but rather another step in the path to success.
No it isn't.

The purpose was to show the effects that car over-reliance has on public safety and quality of life.

In the second scenario, everyone thinks the roads are too dangerous for kids (becuase they are, as evidenced by half of them getting killed) so they all drive their kids to school in oversized heavy vehicles making the roads even more dangerous.
Before cables modems everything was symmetric. Cable modems were bandwidth constrained and they decided to offer more download then upload.
One could also argue that the phone companies as network companies and wanted to make connections and cable companies just wanted to provide content. Offering symmetric bandwidth could be seen as competition by cable companies becuase anyone can publish.
Finally the phone companies started to offer asymmetric bandwidth when DSL was introduced. One could subscribe to asymmetric DSL or symmetric DSL.
Yes! It's getting close, but we are still far from things being convenient and widely adopted
There are lots of great answers from a problem solving perspective. But anxiety and paralysis are also psychological and shouldn't normally be involved in problem solving.

Anxiety about problems often leads to rumination, which causes more anxiety. It can be a bad feedback loop. In a rumination cycle, people generally don't seek out new information, so their mind spends time analyzing and re-analyzing the same incomplete information. Lots of tricks on this thread really come down to ways to trick yourself into systematically getting more information.

But I think it's also worth taking a step back and looking at the anxiety as a "problem" in itself that can be solved. And as a psychological problem it's amenable to all sorts of treatments like exercise, therapy, etc. So don't forget to take care of your brain!

That said, one of my personal favorite strategies when I find myself ruminating is to put the problem aside and do some curiosity-driven learning that's adjacent to the problem. It both gives me more information and makes my brain feel less antagonism toward the topic. I usually find this is enough to get unstuck.
The perception of neutrality is very important for platforms like Glassdoor, otherwise no one would trust it. Showing any sort of visualization that would reveal that they remove reviews would be bad for this.
Zero trust, you have to unit test, run what it gives you, tell it in a separate session a co worker gave you this solution, it doesn't work but explain why. I quite often enlist the bot in helping to prove itself right.
Why is BBC trying to draw the connection between the two?

Edit: Ok, I'm getting downvoted but no one is answering. The obvious is probably because the BBC is trying to draw connection to the two events without any evidence. It's simply speculating. This kind of reporting is quite dangerous and suggestive. I'm not an Elon supporter.
Maybe I'm making some math mistake here, please correct me then. But I though that if a rate of addition is constant (horizontal graph), then the graph representing the sum total should be rising but linear. If the rate is negative, then the total graph would curve down. If the rate of addition is positive, then the total graph would curve up. And it's the last scenario which we see on the Keeling curve. Graph is curving up in the past decade, therefore rate of addition is increasing. No?
God give me strength, this is patronising. Do you really believe only the HN cognoscenti know they're being gamed?
If you sent that, it's OK to have the data transferred, like I can already send a letter with a USB pen drive to a friend in America without anyone in the chain being liable for handling that, as long as they don't leak to third parties, i.e., anyone I did not choose to give my data.

As said, it's really not that hard.
The sentence "the country is better off" is subjective. The country's GDP will go up if all prices go up, yes. But this will also mean that inflation will go up, and in adjusted terms no one will be richer. The price deflator mentioned by the sibling is one of the ways to make that adjustment.
Yeah those aren't good especially stuff like healthcare a PhD student can't get the needed data.

The other issue is, if you do focus on LLMs, it's too hyped your research would be too overlapping/competing especially as you've got a dissertation to write. It's a hard problem.
I see. I use firewalls to control which devices can access which others. To each their own.

> Brendan Eich had a bit of political controversy, but being a technical person I think he would've been better as far as focusing on the actual browser.

He didn't have a political controversy. He was pushed out because he didn't subscribe to the US democrat partisan allowed views, but quite the opposite, which is a fireable offense, apparently.

I don't agree with him on that stance but it shouldn't matter to run a tech company.

I absolutely know that those who censor and fire for political differences definitely don't have my best interests at heart and, while claiming to represent me and my "diversity", they'll brush me aside with a label as soon as I'm not convenient to them or go against their power hungry messaging.

Brendan Eich was a sign of the authoritarian and censorious movement which also tried to bring down the likes of Linus Torvalds or RMS but ultimately failed because it doesn't really produce value and they do, far too much.

Just because someone says they're doing good while claiming you're evil if you don't agree with their non debatable measures doesn't mean they're right, consistent and/or honest.
