> So a Tesla driving off a cliff

This is a lie. There is no evidence that any Tesla vehicle has ever driven itself off a cliff.

Perhaps you are thinking about media reports from a few months ago where a human drove their vehicle off a cliff? If so, it is concerning that you misremembered and/or misrepresented this news event in this way. This news event was of a human driving a vehicle off a cliff. That vehicle happened to be a Tesla — noteworthy only because experts were saying that the chassis did an astoundingly good job of protecting its occupants.

No use of driving aids was ever alleged.

> Shouldn't the public be already outraging from the existing deaths?

Yes. A million people are killed by vehicles driven by humans every year. A million people dead. Every year. This is an outrage.

As for deaths where use of Tesla Autopilot is indicated or alleged, I find them no more outrageous than deaths involving any manufacturer's brand name for lane centering/adaptive cruise control. These features do not lower the driver's responsibility to keep the vehicle under control. And they do not diminish the accountability of the driver in the event of a collision.
If it's helpful, there are cases in which means testing was introduced in the UK Disability benefits.

I think this is not a general shell like bash or csh, more of a custom REPL for some specific set of commands. A critical feature of every other shell is how they handle pipes, and this one doesn't seem to have gotten that far yet.

Perhaps it would have been better to wrap the limited shell functionalities in in gem instead, and run that inside `irb`. Currently the majority of the lines appears to be reimplementing a REPL, but those would come for free with `irb`.
My friend said he relationship with his twos sons were irrevocably ruined by smartphones. Before, they would chat throughout all their car rides but as soon as he bought them smartphones, they stopped talking to him almost entirely and spent all their time on their phones.

With kids getting to that age, I’m holding off as much as possible, and I’m indoctrinating them to the sociopathy of social media, where the Algorithms don’t give a shit about you, they will do whatever it takes to maximize your engagement on their platform.
I take issue with calling them wannabe developers. Especially as the number one way to tank a project at a job is to make yet another way to distribute it. Many companies would do well to have a package maintainer position.

If your entire system uses Flatpak it can probably reuse a lot of stuff. Flatpak-as-a-distro is bound to work well, just like any normal distro does.

However, I only run Flatpak applications when there are no better ways to run software.

$ ./flatpak-dedup-checker
Directories: /var/lib/flatpak/{runtime,app}
Size without deduplication: 13.82 GB
Size with deduplication: 9.74 GB (70% of 13.82 GB)

$ flatpak list --app | wc -l
16

10GB for 16 applications is a lot. Electron applications seem to be the worst offenders here, I'm not seeing any runtime sharing between them and they're all hundreds of megabytes in size.

20hp is about 15kW. My EV consumes at least twice that at highway speeds. Adding that to my EV would let me drive as far as I wanted to in a day in the extreme case, but would be a nice range extender, and assuming it could run and charge while the car was parked, would let me take it on trips to places that are too far to round trip on a single charge and don’t have L3 chargers. I don’t know how many such places exist for most people, but there’s a few of them near me because I live in a very rural area.
Do you have any expertise on self driving, remote sensing, computer vision, navigation systems or anything else on this topic? Do you have a Tesla with the FSD package and participate in the beta program?

From what I've heard firsthand Autopilot still steadily improves, irrespective of what people say about their favourite sensing modalities...
I'll be the first to say I prefer distribution packages to flatpaks in most cases but I understand why an author would choose to pick that as the distribution method (or docker or snap). I think it's great to have options for users and authors, but users can't expect authors to bow down every time they have a request. Let your voice be heard but be respectful rather than being toddler angry like so many blogs these days seem to be.

I'm responding to a comment that expects app developers to make do with a specific version of a library. That expectation seems to be in line with that in the post that TFA responds to, which is unsurprisingly addressed in TFA.

There's a lot of "it's not that hard"s in that post. Of course we all prefer software that just works after being installed with the distro package manager. I don't want to install a container runtime to run grep or netcat or whatever. Meanwhile app developers have to balance their own priorities, it gets complicated, and, I guess increasingly often, "ship X feature to Flatpak users" wins over "make the lives of users/maintainers of Fedora easier". It's just another tradeoff, and sometimes the cost of making do with one version of a library isn't worth it.
>There just isn't enough interesting news!

There isn't enough sensationlist news, you mean. There are plenty of, arguably bordering on the infinite, interesting goings-on in the world around us.

The problem for journalism and why it was replaced with "journalism" has always been that journalism costs money, you need customers to make money (or else rely on the state, a la BBC, NHK, etc.), and the most effective way to get customers has always been to sensationalize.

Merely being interesting doesn't make enough money for journalism to pay for itself, let alone return a profit, thus we have "journalism" and its endless spewing of sensationalism.
I strongly believe kids shouldn't have access to smartphones until they turn 18. Ideally this would be a legal mandate, which would help to reduce peer pressure. ("Everyone else at school has a smartphone!")
> There's no opportunity for a "centrist" cable news network

Worth pointing out that the actual scoop in this article is that Licht deliberately put his hands on the scales to tilt coverage toward Trump, even to the extent of personally suppressing coverage of the one-day-old sexual abuse verdict.

Whether or not there's a market for "centrist" news or not, that's not centrist news.
What’s the actual experiment here?
How much of this is due to increased demand versus how well the power grid is maintained? When I was in HCMC ten or years ago you could fairly accurately predict an outage based on the rain forecast.

The photocopy court case is mentioned in that article as a "small precedent", yeah.

Though I can't speculate on how the sci-hub case will actually go since the main reason copying was allowed for students according to the arguments was that before photocopiers existed, they were expected to copy the things themselves.
For the AGPL, why isn't the GPL sufficient to turn the copyright regime on its head and neutralize copyright?

Or do the people who release under the AGPL want something beyond what the GPL provides? And if that is the case, what can they use to get it other than the rights granted by copyright? Surely they could use something other than copyright to get that if it was possible.
Ish. Stability of API takes a lot more effort than Rambo engineering.
It really isn't a lot. Why would you bring up a phone when I don't know of any phones that use flatpaks (or snaps) except very edge case ubuntu experimental phone distros?

Am I misreading that they reported hundreds of millions of dollars of profit in 2022?

Like I agree that cable news seems to be a declining business with bad programming incentives, but if I had to choose between something like the profits from a nice restaurant that people widely appreciated and hundreds of millions of dollars from CNN, I'd have an easy time of it.
Select whichever words best describe the challenge of getting a million people to watch cable news --- or, really, any news show for more than 30 minutes. That's how much time Walter Cronkite had, and he had roughly 30 million viewers.
This is almost precisely the argument made by the Luddite movement. “Intended to put artists out of work” is a tellingly emotional way to describe a transformer NN which self-evidently is “intended” to do no such thing. I can imagine 19th century textile workers terrified of mechanical looms using very similar language.

Pedo guy.
IMHO, the pandemic has ripped off the mask of living in the US; those in power would see you rather die (from Covid) rather than risk losing a dollar.
Other countries have not been as harsh, yes long lockdowns, but also social support and money.

Once people saw that those in power would rather see you die than inconvenience them, an entire generation stopped believing in the social contract. After that things fall apart.
That's a really unfortunate naming collision. I immediately thought this was browser tech.
So, burning a gallon of gasoline makes 20 lbs of CO2, so 100 gallons produces one ton.

At your current spot price ($29), that means it costs $0.29 per gallon of gasoline to capture the released carbon.

I’m pretty optimistic about the viability (and necessity) of carbon capture, but that seems too good to be true.

In particular, it would mean that we don’t need to stop using fossil fuels, since that is rounding error vs. the price of gasoline.

Is anyone actually delivering captured carbon at that price yet?
The people I've worked with in the drone space who actually deliver working products won't touch ROS with a 10-foot barge pole. There are plenty of people using 10x the resources to deliver 10% of the product who are embracing ROS though, and 90% of the work is getting all the different ROS components to play nicely with each other at the same time. Never again.
They make money a bunch of different ways, and one big one is advertising, but don't forget that a pretty significant chunk of their revenue (and Fox's) is carriage fees: money they get mechanically from cable providers, just for existing.
There's also 1 in Rust: https://github.com/containers/youki
So your whole argument isn’t that crun itself is unstable but that C can be hard for non-experts to write programs in. That could be said of tons of stuff including the OS kernel you’re using to run containers, so I’d be curious to hear what you’re using to replace Linux in your work.

The principal issue with Go applications in my work continues to be the massive size of the executables.
That's not happening in the next 10-20 years either way.

As far as I'm concerned, a 95% reduction in emissions is a big win, and a 95% reduction in 5 years is better than a 100% reduction in 30 years.

C is the last of the old guard languages where every major target had their own toolchain to build with. Microsoft shops used the visual studio compiler chain. Sun used their own, sgi, etc. Gcc broke the mold by being unattached to a platform and usable.

You may not care but I do. I would very much enjoy seeing Brazil become a powerful country.

If I hate anything it's the weakness of our governors who are perfectly happy in their positions as globalist puppets. They are always seeking the next great power so they can align themselves with them. Once upon a time that was the United States. Now it looks like it's China. Wish they had the balls to aspire to be the next great power instead.
Yeah, in general, things work out nicely. :) I figure this genre of post and the post it's responding to are mostly about exceptions.

My impression is that exceptions become more and more prevalent as (app?) development practices diverge from the workflow that distros have spent decades optimizing their processes for (ie., apps are developed with package managers that don't map well to distro packaging).
> That banana is the property of that gorilla.

is there a semantically relevant distinction between property and possession?

First of all, what makes you think that person is American?
Secondly, "American" means a group of 350 million people who have a broader diversity of race, culture, religion, etc. than any other country on earth or even in history. When you say "American" you're probably skipping all that and just talking about blond Republican males in Utah. Am I right?

Mystery math whiz and novelist advance permutation problem
A lot of people would stay at Bell Labs because of the culture of frictionless internal collaborations. Don't know about SV, but my senior colleagues and managers all had multiple stories of fending off Universities recruiting their staff. Being reminded them of the freewheeling open-door nature of the place that Universities could not duplicate, a lot of sought-after people stayed put. Not to mention no committee work, grantwriting, or teaching.

But, the company fully expected to lose people to MIT, Berkeley, Caltech, Harvard, and other places. It was a point of pride that they could recruit young people of that caliber. Those who did choose to go usually left on good terms with Bell donating lab equipment and staying in touch for access to future students and postdocs.

This seems like a great idea. If all the kids are offline, there is much less peer pressure to be online.

This solves the problem of kids being ostracized because their parents limited their screen time or didn't buy them a phone until they were too old.
The cost of generating the hydrogen is only one part of it.
We need the electricity grid anyway, and bolstering it is already a necessary part of a 100% green grid. If we want to use Hydrogen for vehicles then that means constructing an entire second distribution system. Even if you use trucks, we will need to build thousands of trucks with Hydrogen tanks (which are much harder to make than regular pressure vessels, by the way) in order to distribute it.

All this, and you think adding chargers to apartment complexes is too hard?
It costs more because they have to defend against jamming and EMI warfare.
They were a monopoly since the '90s.

>The whole concept is silly, we don't offset crime for instance. I can't just pay someone in advance to not punch someone so that I can do it.

Governments do something similar though: gun buyback schemes are basically the same thing. Sure, maybe that gun that the government bought would have been used to commit a crime, or it was held by a responsible gun owner who wouldn't have committed any crimes to begin with.
>There simply isn't enough real stuff to report to fill 24/7.

Sure there is. There is so much news for one day that it's impossible to get it all. If 8 billion people are awake for 10 hours each day. You have 80 billion hours of people's experiences to compresses into only 24 hours.
In the case of Autism Speaks, they definitely suck. Not because of their research necessarily, but because of how they paint people with ASD as some terrible burden on their family etc. etc. I'm not saying caring for someone who is low-functioning is easy, but the way AS paints people with ASD is certainly demeaning.

In terms of the research protest: I can't speak on that too much because I don't have enough of the context, but I can say that people have similar concerns outside of autism/neurodivergent things (e.g. many people are worried companies like 23andme are using DNA samples to build a superbaby). It's less so villainising a company because they're "trying to cure autism" (which this study was explicity not doing) and more so "nobody trusts a private corporation with that data".
