Greetings HN Community!

I'm excited to share an update on a project that I've been working on: Robyn (https://github.com/sansyrox/robyn/). For those who might be unfamiliar, Robyn is a fast, asynchronous Python web framework that is built over a Rust runtime.

In the latest release (v0.32.0), we have introduced a feature that I believe many will find useful - SubRouters. This feature provides a more efficient and compact way to group routes, working seamlessly with both standard routes and web sockets. Consider it like a miniature version of the main router, designed to optimize your routing architecture.

You can explore more about this new feature here: https://github.com/sansyrox/robyn/releases/tag/v0.32.0

We are constantly striving to improve and expand Robyn's capabilities, and your feedback is crucial to this process. We would greatly appreciate any thoughts or comments you might have on the SubRouters feature or on Robyn in general. Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Enjoy and welcome to the matrix :)
Atkinson is a pretty heavyweight knowledgeable car guy and as he says in the article has a university degree in electrical and electronic engineering, with a subsequent master’s in control systems.

I think the problem with some BEV owners, (probably due to the endless virtue signalling high pressure guilt sales models) is their almost complete lack of understanding of the issues Atkinson discussed here, or in some cases an almost wilful refusal to accept basic logic, physics and alternatives.

He didn't bring up fire risks which I consider a rapidly escalating problem as more BEVs are sold. (Jaguar are having to recall their ipace SUV due to battery fire risks this week as the latest example)
It's bc we moved away from nature - to the cities, that we allowed the environmental destruction to occur.

Had we all been rural still - and as bored as you get out there, we would've noticed more of the incremental stuff first hand.

A sole conversation with your family "outdoorsman" - typically a boomer tho, if so you gotta be real careful they don't realize your asking about climate change or else all you will hear is the stories about that one time in 67 it got this cold before - totally normal.

If you can have a candid conversation with someone that has spent a life outside about how different things are today - you will hear lots and lots of things.

It's possible that someday all the animals alive left in the world will either be our livestock or as our pets/entertainment.

Already today to many people most animals exist only in zoos or on TV. The city removed us from nature physically and conceptually.

Plus it's convenient that all that "forest and woodland" you think is "safer" is owned by somebody that wants you to stay in the city.

Try to leave the city. Where I live all the same farm families buy every bit of land that is sold as even remotely agricultural - many have accumulated 10-20 "homesteads" - original farms with a house and garage etc...

They rip out all of the buildings and plow it down. They used to sell the house and buildings as its own thing - they don't do that anymore.

It's not about money. It's about keeping everyone else away - in the cities.
Weird coincidence, I interpolated my pivot in a binary search 3 days ago. (Didn’t improve things, my data is compressed, so only irregular stuff is in the array)
FMLA isn't required to be paid. That depends on what state you live in.
Also, the signup flow is pretty painful. I have to upload a document, then pay, then go to my email and click on a link, that sends me another link to my email to sign in, then I complete the sign in, and it shows me the order information. And then no where does it let me chat with the robot about my doc...
it will be trivial to reverse unauthorized ACH debit from your bank account to paypal, just call your bank as soon as you notice, create a Fraud complaint case and they will take care of that (clawing money back from paypal/whoever fintech)
Dyson Sphere Project has Accumulaters (batteries) you can fill on an energy rich planet and ship to another which is energy poor.
Wonder if compressed air would be a better store on a ship.
Sneakernet but for electric charge instead of bytes.
Anyone want a 500 foot bomb in their port?
Intel actually just released a set of data centre GPUs too
Justification isn't really a thing in that market (see also: luxury watches).

My friends who are into hi-fi/audiophile stuff who value accuracy typically do go for studio monitors or similar (e.g. Harbeth) vs. stuff like Wilson Audio. Some of them still buy fairly woo-woo stuff like spendy cables even though they might know better, but at least they don't go in for the pure scam stuff like Shakti Stones or directional Ethernet cables...
It's telling that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates wouldn't let their young children have iPads or smartphones until they were older.

This is a great idea and I hope it works and is expanded. At our children's elementary school, phones were collected and held by the teachers. In secondary school, the teachers don't try to limit or control access and even "require" phones for quizzes.

USA surgeon general even came out against the threat of screentime and the lack of help that parents have when pitted against the best minds in the industries.
Low motility is real and the data is seemingly showing a drastic increase very recently in make infertility - the harder of the two both to mess up and fix, hence the global concern.

Your advice is rather backhanded. Prioritizing family and going at it like rabbits won't do anything if your shooting blanks.

If this was a global problem one can only surmise there will also be fewer kids to adopt...
On your first point, ‘electrons’ is an example of synecdoche: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synecdoche
Or socat with readline interface. Line editing, history, etc. Very convenient.
Came here to rave about Telnet, and found out I'm just an old n00b that should be using netcat. Got it.
Not bullish, you mean bearish?
What became of the hostess?
But that's not unique to an electric car, and that's also not fundamentally different than if the passenger were 2 kg heavier.
It's smart if you realize that they never had a choice. No matter what Musk says, they could do vision-only or nothing at all. Google started their program in 2009 and had a pile of cash. Tesla started their program in 2015 ish and until 2019 they were in a precarious financial position. So they never had the money or time to take Google head on. With vision, they could at least use their position to their advantage.

And it's a good bet. There's tons more to self driving than perceiving the world (lidar does not help a driver what to do in a novel and ambiguous situation, it's not a perception problem) and Tesla's vision is quite good based on all the FSD videos on YouTube.
Humans aren't capable of emitting an electromagnetic pulse, sensing the reflection, and using the time of flight to calculate distance between themselves and an object. So, no, lidar and radar aren't equivalent to human vision even if you extend the idea of human vision over a wider range of the EM spectrum.
Disheartening, but not surprising. I am such a strong believer that the US needs robust transit so we can reduce car dependence and build denser housing to address the insane cost of living not just in cities that are currently HCOL, but the cities that will become expensive as other migrate there.

All that being said, I’m not aware of a single US city doing a good job expanding transit. The US doesn’t seem to have the ability to figure out transit and get costs under control. If anyone knows of any cities making big improvements, please chime in.
Then why make a fancy landing page instead of just linking to the paper?

Anyway, it's not 2000, you can't get away with releasing a paper without code. In the case of AI/ML, you either need to release the weights, or make some web doodad that allows you to use the model. If that's not there, I just assume that the results aren't reproducible.
I’m a little distracted by this soda fountain you seem to frequent
I can see that.

Given time and interest, an honest search for knowledge is preferable to reading a set
number of ideologically-rooted viewpoints.

However, given a lifetime of experience, many people have political philosophies. Right or wrong ([1]), they aren’t wanting to be challenged on any meaningful level with most articles they read.

My take is that probably only something on the order of 1% of Americans are using substantial critical thinking when reading news.

I don’t want to sound like I’m just complaining, so I’ll offer this actionable hypothesis. We are expecting too much of people given their stretched attention spans and carnivorous media habits. When I say “expecting too much”, I’m saying that it is statistically impossible for more than a rarefied subset of people to engage in a meaningful way under such conditions.

If we want some sort of Athenian town hall discussions, we would have to change the rules and context of discussion. Allowing people to bounce around cyberspace, commenting with about as much thought as birds put into mid-flight pooping is just not going to give satisfactory results.

Notes:

1. Wrong! … I’d say a vast majority of people are wrong to think their underlying philosophies about politics or human psychology are good enough as is. They are “good enough” for a token level of understanding and tribal echo chamber discussion.

If I could be benevolent version of Rupert Murdoch for a day, and hoped to educate an audience, I would still struggle to find effective ways to succeed at engaging the audience for any meaningful kind of ‘educational’ content. Heck, as much as I like comedic style news stories (a la John Oliver) they aren’t really showing how to do critical thinking. They are still largely emotionally driven, non-scholarly looks at current events. While I happen to agree with many of Oliver’s calls to action, his rhetoric vastly overshadows his analysis.
It is.
It is required in some countries (RU, CN).
You can now add headphones to your upgrade cycles because number of new phones with reasonable specs and wired headphone support are becoming rare.

If this proves cost effective to manufacture and resulting headphones come with inbuilt obsolescence due to batteries and degrading rubber, we'll see manufacturers aggressively pushing this new technology.
Unlike the capacity of human brains the capacity of ML models has been growing very fast in the last 10 years. The number of tasks AI cannot do is shrinking fast.
in the mid-90s i was invited to fix several schools' networks, a couple were novell and i forget what the others were (edit: also appletalk, which was similar but used 2 pairs on "telephone jacks", including little phone jack resistors), and those BNC connectors (or were they TNC?) were connected to stiff wires so any movement of the very heavy PCs connected to them tended to shear solder joints. I even had to replace "thinnet" coax that rats had eaten through.

I bet if i open my parts cabinet i still have enough stuff to build a token ring 10base2 network right now.
Jaguar recalling vehicles because they got the electrical system wrong is nothing new, it’s been like that since at least the 70s.
The War on Dogs
Ok good cause I saw how tiny my scroll bar got and was wondering if I should invest the time to read the whole thing!
https://sc.vern.cc/@jeff-kaye/cia-mkultra-and-the-cover-up-o... was a good long read. Biowarfare and mind control have come a long way since those relatively ancient times.

Now we have synthetic DNA to develop gain of function in viruses that can target segments of population such as the elders and those with comorbidities. We can follow up on that with proprietary MRNA shots formulated to take down targeted individuals in a one two punch.

MKULTRA ended in name only. NATO now has a sixth operational domain of cognitive warfare that uses social media and other advanced tools. https://www.projectcensored.org/18-the-human-mind-as-new-dom...
The failure is that of the machine learning world to underwrite the prize.

There is no greater potential risk adjusted return to the field.

$100/month paid out over the lifetime of the prize must be compared against the investments in machine learning over that time.
Because I gave zero fucks for how actually useful the battery life was, I just wanted the hotspot to turn on again after the LiPo swelled up so much the pogo pins lost contact. NiMH AAs were onhand in abundance for flashlights.

They had enough voltage to let the thing turn on and weren't going to catch fire, problem solved. Left it that way for years.
Surely someone buys them just because they are fun drives. I can’t be the only one.
Are there people who actually believe that they think "in language"? I know that it's a trope I see in television and other fiction, but I also see the one there concussions can lead to hours of unconsciousness that resolves itself without neurosurgery.
105 is most certainly greater than 100 is it not?

And I think you mean LA County, The city is around 120 miles. Regarding the county, Long Beach isn’t really LA - nobody from Long Beach would say they’re from LA.
My parents met in a waffle house.

1. Because their design is bad.

2. Because the number of people who disable JavaScript is a rounding error.
Very unlikely. That's a pretty accurate description of the startup. "CollegeAI" doesn't suggest at all it's an admission matching platform. The hot take would've been it's a college driven by AI, or college specializing in degrees related to AI or god knows what.
> Elon and Andrej Karpathy argued that since humans can drive using just vision, that’s how we should do it in self driving cars

I thought their argument was a little more like “since roads are designed for human vision, we should take a vision-based approach, too”.

Not saying it’s the right idea, just that’s how I thought they had put it.
found an XSS on Metacritic.com a few months ago in their search results URL

didn't expect a site that big to have this kind of weakness going unnoticed for years
Wouldn't layout/rendering etc. be done in terms of grapheme clusters?
I think half of the people in the US use Snopes to confirm their beliefs and the other half disregard Snopes’ findings and put them in the biased media bucket.
Could they realistically do this? Aren't user-modded niche subs a big thing? If all that's left is a handful of subreddits curated by reddit themselves is the site even the same? Why would anyone want to visit at that point?
Oh I wish Reddit killed itself to be honest. Maybe this is the first step.
Telnet reminds me of the days when the internet was mysterious and exotic machines of all types existed.

I miss those times and often wonder what the world would be like had the internet remained as obscure (relatively) as it was back in the early 90s when I discovered it.
“Not bullish” implies either neutral or bearish, I think.
> Using Unicode codepoints makes invalid state unrepresentable.

Is that true? Maybe it's not "invalid", but you might very well slice through the middle of a grapheme cluster.
Shame that UMN may have sabotaged gopher with licensing fees.

On the other hand many web browsers supported gopher for another decade at least.
What detail of Japan's geography that's supposed to make this viable did you pick up from that text?

Aomori is not some island so remote and isolated they can't possibly run underwater cables to. It's on Honshu. You know, the main island. On the same power grid as Tokio.
Absolutely. Us sysadmins have plenty of reasons to be paranoid.
I get executives over promise and Elon especially, but he's admitted to the difficulty and how FSD was harder than anyone suspected. Why all of a sudden in his videos does he seem extremely confident where he's been silent-ish the past few years?

I've seen in numerous recent videos him mentioning Tesla's Ai team is the #1 real world AI company and no one is even close, and that FSD will be here very soon.
The book I was referring to is Impro: Improvisation and the Theatre by Keith Johnstone: https://www.amazon.com/Impro-Improvisation-Theatre-Keith-Joh...
Put another way, Reddit began enshitiffication no later than the "new" style and since it's intentional, it's only a mistake in the medium and long term, as has been noted they're trying to squeeze a few bucks out of its hulk before it dies.
I have worked for an employer that offered x hours of sick leave per pay period. A number of the employees--apparently at all levels--thought that they were robbing themselves if they didn't burn all the sick leave.

On the other hand, I have been the schmuck who went to work feeling awful and possibly contagious, because sick leave had been lumped in with vacation, and I might need to take some if my child (as happens a lot on introduction to day care) got sick.

Money does fix the social problem of having no money. Penicillin isn't in it as a wonder drug.
Apparently a 10-K is a detailed financial report for US public companies https://www.investopedia.com/terms/1/10-k.asp
It’s repeating trivialities that would be well-understood and are somewhat hyperbolic for both the audience and the real meat of the content. C.f. “Binary search has long been…”
The VAX war - https://www.hactrn.net/sra/vaxen.html

> VAXen, my children, just don't belong some places. In my business, I am frequently called by small sites and startups having VAX problems. So when a friend of mine in an Extremely Large Financial Institution (ELFI) called me one day to ask for help, I was intrigued because this outfit is a really major VAX user--they have several large herds of VAXen--and plenty of sharp VAXherds to take care of them.

> (large skip)

> So now the whole data center was dead, sort of. The fire alarm system had it's own battery backup and was still alive. The lead acid storage batteries of the immortal power system had been discharging at a furious rate keeping all those big blue boxes running and there was a significant amount of sulfuric acid vapor. Nothing actually caught fire but the smoke detectors were convinced it had.

> The fire alarm klaxon went off and the siren warning of imminent halon gas release was screaming. We started to panic but the data center manager shouted over the din, ``Don't worry, the halon system failed its acceptance test last week. It's disabled and nothing will happen.''

> He was half right, the primary halon system indeed failed to discharge. But the secondary halon system observed that the primary had conked and instantly did its duty, which was to deal with Dire Disasters. It had twice the capacity and six times the discharge rate.

There are some funny stories about Wiener in Waldrop’s book ‘The Dream Machine’.
Reddit's image hosting implemented blocking direct linking to image files and started substituting an HTML-ish page like imgur does a few months back. After much complaint they actually fixed it so that the image in the hijacked URL's HTML is a real image tag (<img src="ht..) with a real URL to the image file. For a while it had been a javascript defined custom html element (web components) instead of an <img>.

So at least they did that right. imgur has been failing hard at this for ~5+ years.
cool!

I think you are being too pedantic about the word “change”. No one assumed he meant someone went back with a time machine and literally changed history.
A doctor's note is not a reasonable ask, actually. It is actually unreasonable that work has so few days off available and that you need to take further of your own time to see a medical professional to give you permission to stay at home while you are ill.

Probably everybody does it for themselves. So Tesla tries to have solely vision FSD while Waymo I guess does what you suggest. However seeing with lidar is not like vision only. Maybe at somepoint they share their code as OSS, probably not or very late.
Sensor fusion is actually a hard problem. Yes, more different kind of sensors can lead to poorer results. Imagine having two different views in the world at unsynced points in time, and making decisions on that. It isn’t weird there might be a focus on LIDAR, or vision, but not both at the same time, at least for real time decision making.
Can’t the lawyer still say “I checked to the best of my ability, the best of my ability just wasn’t very good,” or something along those lines?
Not every company runs like this. It's pretty common among tech companies that needed a lot of bootstrapping, but there are plenty of stodgy old producers who do not and who do plan more long term. Value investing is a long-standing philosophy and it has a dedicated "cult" but you don't hear a lot about those companies because they don't need a reality distortion field to make money, because they've basically already got a good concept.

Reddit is none of those things. It's a VC Frankenstein at this point and it's probably never going to make real money, so it makes sense that they're trying to change the recipe to at least get something back.
> cloud is just a new term for the World Wide Web

I think of cloud computing as network-accessible computing resources, often provided by commercial services like AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.. (Though private clouds are also a possibility.)

These services typically provide web-based management interfaces and HTTPS-based control APIs, but the computing resources themselves are not tied to the web or HTTP(S). For example I usually interact with cloud computing resources using SSH - a modern equivalent to the remote terminal/remote login protocols that predated the web by decades.

Perhaps you are thinking of CDNs like Cloudflare or Akamai which cache web content for faster access, scalability, and resistance to DDoS?
https://github.com/al-ign/Protect-RDSFromBruteforce
It works for now; I wouldn't bet on it still working in 6 months. They've already killed i.reddit (the old non-shittified mobile web layout) "in an effort to streamline the experience and reduce the number of ways you can access Reddit on the web" [1].

But then people would complain about it being too close to the vote arrows, no?
I never bought that argument considering roads live in 3 dimensional space and our eyes and brain are constantly trying to decipher 2d space into depth. Seems like an extra hop that would be better cut out.
How is the similarity score calculated? Nike and Google have about the same similarity score relative to Apple.
Originally, Malachowsky said in an interview that he thought she was an agent of the Sand Hill Road cult, carefully placed at a known Silicon Valley nexus of innovation ley lines (again, because Denny's is the only place open late). However, after six months of exhaustive searching and $20 million spent on seances and psychics in preparation for IPO, several hundred Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan agents failed to locate her despite a dozen McKinsey partners sacrificing a truckload of silicon wafers at the fiscal solstice.

Some believe her to be an incarnation of Calafia, the ancient queen of California. Other suspect she is the personification of the pay-it-forward spirit of Silicon Valley. Others still believe she was a demon sent to destroy ATI or bring on the dark age of thinking machines.

We will never know.
