This is absolutely awful for the industry. I hope the FTC steps in and either forces Tesla to truly open its connector (no requiring licensing fees / handing over development to an industry consortium) or kills these deals.

I genuinely don't know why people are excited to replace an open standard with a proprietary one. Imagine if all USB development were hamstrung and required to go through an Apple approval process, and every device you bought had to pay the Apple tax for a lightning port?

In addition, it seems that in the way the way the language is worded, Tesla's connector now qualifies for infrastructure subsidies because it can charge multiple makes of vehicles, even though it's limited to only those makes that have paid them the tax*. That's appalling.

* this is made clear by their discussion of the Tesla to CCS adapters, which are vendor locked to only charge GM and Ford vehicles. Everyone with a different brand of car is left out. "Open standard"? I don't think so.
Yep, absolutely nothing will happen because there is no serious alternative to Reddit.

Those complaining are vocal minority that will mostly continue to use Reddit through official app/website.
I agree with your take, I think that the current state of traditional social media will further drive people into those new forums. I am an example of such a person.

For what it's worth, during my psychology courses in university, I witnessed professors lie to the class, sometimes in response to direct questions. The topics were things that psychology professors would surely know, so I don't think they were simply misinformed.
The less source you have the more important having a stable ABI is.

Conversely the more source you have the less important a stable binary interface is.

I use a lot of openbsd. The openbsd project is actively hostile to closed source commercial programs with their laissez-faire attitude toward abi stability. However I have this enormous stable of open source software. and it all runs just fine.

Amusing that you're saying this when Tesla requires an app to set up your car for charging in the first place. Sure, you don't need an app at the point of sale, but I'd argue tying your car permanently to your identity is even worse.

I'm also not sure where people have needed an app to charge. In my experience at both EVGo and Electrify America stations, the credit card readers work just fine. I've never made an account for either of them. ChargePoint is the exception, but their system is extra stupid (you need to use the app, then NFC your phone)
It'll double it's GDP regardless of whether it follows through on its imperial ambitions or not, though.

Meanwhile, the only thing that's doubling in Russia is the price of butter.
People that did or did not go to war, went without then obtained health care coverage I think would disagree with you.

Perhaps you were never in danger of any of those things, thus to you, there was/is no difference.
I've gotten extremely odd algorithms and solutions that saved me lots of resources.

Lots of bitshifting and unsigned ints and approximations these days. Stuff I would have never thought of, and then I can talk it through how something else only I thought of would be even more applicable, and it refines it for that too! Great pair programmer!

This level of competence will never show up in a live no-resource interview or any (watched) time trial I do.
Even with LaTeX etc, content is not separate from presentation when you write papers. Once you have limits on pages, you have to adjust your content to the presentation to make it fit.
What refunds will he need to provide?

I paid for the app years ago - it was $5 or so and I don't expect to get anything back. That's just how the game works.

I know he also had some sort of monthly subscription - it seemed quite absurd for whatever additional trivial features it provided, but then again there apparently was some sort of Apollo fanboy group who got a lot of excitement out of new app logos, which seemed to be the main updates in the last few years, even at the expense of serious bugs that lingered for months.

I'd assume those subscriptions would just stop being charged going forward. So again, who is getting $250k in refunds?

Furthermore, if he is refunding that much money, I wonder what kind of revenue and profits he was pulling in? I had kind of assumed he was making a very good living (deservedly - it was a good app) - maybe a few hundred thousand dollars a year, but now I'm wondering if he was making a order of magnitude more than that...
Why not provide a form in the app to enter your own reddit API token, then a user could register its own pseudo app while staying in the free quota, or use the official reddit app token ;)
1. Every database has its own flavor of SQL syntax. So we need to settle on a minimal syntax that can export to any database. (BigQuery, Snowflake, MySQL etc..)

I actually tried it in Chrome on MacOS before writing my comment, and did not see the Install button, but only the tiny install hint in the url bar. That surprised me, because I clearly remembered the button; which is why I thought that maybe the button only appears on mobile browsers where it's harder to find the install option in browser's own ui. But now when I open it again in desktop Chrome, there it is, the Install button. Strange.
It all depends on the terms of the equity grant. You may get RSUs, but voting rights are retained by the founders or someone else.
I recently had to write an expression parser. It turns out there are a few "different" algorithms that are common, but they're actually basically the same algorithm: Pratt parsers, precedence climbing, and the shunting yard algorithm (there may be others, I only started looking into this a week ago). They have small differences but the basic idea is the same.

I went with the shunting yard algorithm because it's not recursive so you don't need to worry about stack overflows. It's basically the iterative version of the other two.

Also note that most implementations of the shunting yard algorithm don't actually check that the expression is valid (e.g. they accept "1 2 +") but it's trivial to fix that with a state machine to check which tokens are acceptable.

This was also the first thing I've tried writing using Copilot and it was a huge time saver. Conservatively I'd say it halved the time it took me to write it. Ok admittedly it's probably a best case - there are a gazillion parser examples out there for it to learn from, but it was still great. I'm going to pay for a subscription.
Off-topic: but do you know how the college/university situation is in Spain vis-a-vis Americans and PhDs?

Best I found is Tildes, it is invite only and a small community as Reddit used to be years ago focusing on quality conversations. There has been a high influx of new users there.

People also recommend Lemmy but UX I do not like it and it lacks a good client.
Arch has been working great for me on both my ancient laptop and my Ryzen PC for ages now. And whenever I do run into a problem or want to learn something new, I've always got the truly excellent Arch Wiki to back me up. Even those running a different distribution will often refer to it to solve a problem.

I expect even greater things from Arch in the future with Valve's use of this distro on the Steam Deck.
You can always mitigate risk more. If I were required to come into a typical office (which I'm not) and wear a mask all day to mitigate against various infections that would be a big FU. You're of course entitled to feel differently.
Surely there's a benefit for the authors of doing so? Compressing information forces one to keep only the most important bits, presumably
Going slowly has it's own issues. If it takes you 100,000 years to cross the space between 2 stars, you are going to need a lot of energy/food to keep your crew/robots/computers going - because there isn't going to be much solar energy available. Also is any civilization going to invest the effort to create a probe/mission that they are not going to hear back from over that sort of time-scale?
Good idea to pivot it to a browser extension

I can't wait until this tech progresses to the point it can reliably tutor for more advanced courses like real analysis, group theory, linear algebra, etc. I actually wondered if it would be feasible to use NLP techniques to check user submitted answers to proof based problem, LLMs might be get there.
I've been running Arch for about a decade now and it's only seriously broken a few (low single digits) times. Here are the main failure modes I've experienced:

The biggest one seems to be something related to the package mirrors only partially updating, or updates of common dependencies not being atomically applied to all packages - something like that. If you do a pacman -Syu in the middle of the critical time period, the system will fail to work with some core libs (libc, libicu) not being compatible. Booting into a recovery session and doing pacman -Syu again fixes it. However, it's been years since I experienced this - maybe they've taken some steps to eliminate this failure mode?

The other big (but still rare) failure mode is bugs in the kernel. The fix is simple, keep linux-lts installed alongside the standard linux kernel, so you can always boot into lts from the bootloader if the regular kernel doesn't work.

User software can have bugs in newer releases, but they're usually minor - you'll still be able to get work done without much disruption. And that's not really an Arch issue. Unless the bug is reported & fixed very quickly, Ubuntu/Fedora are likely to also get the buggy versions, just later.

Aside from the first failure mode, the OS itself doesn't fail. I've had bad experiences with upgrading between major releases of distros like Ubuntu. They're bloated to begin with, and accumulate more cruft over time and major upgrades. Arch just works. Plus, there's lots of software in the official repos, and the AUR / package build system is also excellent - far superior to the whole PPA mess on Debian/Ubuntu, and the equivalent on Fedora.
That's a possible interpretation. We don't hear the discussion before it. And it's a weird wording to merely offer a sale of assets for Reddit to then manage.

The word choice, to my ears, more implies a "just gimme cash to make me shut up & disappear" attitude, or at least openness to torpedoing every other goal as long as the cash prize is big enough.

I further think Selig's rush to qualify it as "mostly a joke" is evidence that he noticed, in the moment, that what he just said sounded a bit brutally grubby. Maybe by this point he was getting angry his other hints that he mainly wanted an attractive buyout weren't being met by serious offers.

As I mentioned, such a tactic could be far from what the law declares as actionable 'blackmail' but still feel like a tough, "play ball or else" shakedown on the other side of the negotiation – the sort of thing people commonly describe, though somewhat figuratively/hyperbolically, as 'blackmail'.

Is there anything "wrong" with that style of making joking payoff offers to "skip off into the sunset"? Well, in negotiations, as long as you're not breaking the law or sabotaging your longer-run reputation, what's 'right' is largely what gets you what you want, both for now and in enduring relationships.

Did Selig get what he wanted? Does he come off as a desirable & trustworthy counterparty in other future collaborations & negotiations?

I think he's got a legitimate beef with Reddit in many dimensions, but at the same time this audio clip doesn't make him seem super clear & fair in his communications.
I mean, if you really need newer software, then you can probably find a DPA (like Ubuntu's PPA). The PHP packages provided by Ondřej Surý come to mind as an example, which have recent versions that would otherwise be unavailable: https://deb.sury.org/

Alternatively, one can use OCI containers (e.g. Docker) for something even more recent, or software unavailable on Debian altogether. That way, you can have a very stable base server OS, with isolated bits of something more recent, feature packed, albeit sometimes a bit more unstable.

Those aren't the only options, of course, but they are pretty viable, depending on your use case. Personally, I also didn't see any issues with the ~10 year EOL of some of the RPM distros, as long as you care mostly about security updates/stability and not recent features.
I think your comment would be received better if you rewrote it without the part about ‘so many people don’t read history’. For what it’s worth, I upvoted that comment before reading the one I am responding to.

This community can be picky about tone and phrasing (which I believe keeps things mostly civil), don’t take the downvotes personally. Some users may have felt the ‘not reading history’ part was targeted at them, even though you were speaking generally.

Thank you for eloquently putting this. I am exactly in that boat. I'm reasonably IT savvy but not a security researcher. I help a large number of not tech savvy people with advice.

I don't care to either dismiss or evangelize the technology based on what it may or may not be able to do in the future. My questions are whether these are user friendly and usable today or should I wait and see. I feel all my concerns of "if I and my family adopt this right now, today, on my actual devices, what are my risks and capabilities? How can I safety my family and backup things and set them up for success?" Are answered with "in the future, in theory, somebody somewhere will come up with this solution which is not currently strictly prohibited "
Nobody uses an app at the gas station because that process was invented long before the smartphone craze and people have gotten used to it. I am pretty sure that if ICE cars were only coming to market now, the gas stations would ask you to use an app to fill up.
The more free time I have, the more I'm convinced that "idle hands are the devil's plaything" is one of our more accurate aphorisms. Considered in total, I'm far less ethical when I have time to myself than when I'm working.
There are almost certainly easier solutions that at least mitigate the problem even if it doesn't fully solve the problem. A similar problem might be type 1 diabetes, where an issie with the immune system causes the body attacks the cells which produce insulin. There is no cure for type 1 diabetes. However, now that we understand some of the mechanisms, we can monitor blood sugar levels and artificially regulate them so what was previously a fatal disease is now manageable. If we can figure out similar mechanisms with aging, we can treat it even if we can't completely "cure" it.
They don't "struggle". Computers exhibit definite behavior when a program attempts to store or operate on numbers that are too large for the allocated space.

For integers, overflow behavior is pretty easy to understand.
My favorite so far is Copilot writing code with variables like “testO1”.

Yeah this is not anywhere close to a 'deep dive'. Surprised Framework would editorialize the title so much, not a good sign.
Here on HN? Can you link me to their posts? If you have reason to believe monero has been deanonymized, please post details.
Can you please argue your case?

I argue that the model’s weights could contain a rich representation of the world, even if it looks different from that of humans. And that it can use this capability of world modeling to also make new connections.

These “world modeling” / “reasoning” abilities seem to have some similarities with that of humans. We see echoes of our own abilities in gpt-4 and the like. But they also have their own peculiarities and limitations, which isn’t surprising in hindsight.
Your rebuttal is false and the parent is accurate. Reddit will throw up a full screen interstitial on most popular subreddits preventing even viewing and redirect you to download the app. This is on the mobile (not old.reddit desktop-only) site. Their UX is shite and full of dark patterns.
CHAdeMO is pretty bad too. They’re both needlessly complex and chunky. My guess is that it’s the usual dynamic of industry consortia designing by a committee that heaps a massive number of requirements on the design that must all be met.

That being said the FTC should require that Tesla open the connector spec if they are going to do this.
Thanks! This is a very interesting comment. It definitely stands in contrast to the people suggesting here that monitoring technology usage is easy-peasy.
But the same publication says that only a bit over 50% of the population even own a credit card. And debit cards usable online are still a niche product.

So in Germany, can you pay your Paypal bills any other way than by credit card? Honest question, when I lived in Germany the last time, Paypal did not exist yet.

What's awful about the deal?

1. Tesla already opened up the NACS connector for others to use. We don't know the detail yet but the license fee is probably minimal if Ford and GM agree to join.

2. the CSS1 connector is monstrous compare to NACS, with design deficiencies that are more or less not fixable.

3. Your USB example would be more like manufacturers sticking with Serial port (with manual configuration and payment done by the user) vs plug-and-play USB 1.0 (still a pain but it's a huge improvement.)

4. Tesla has a larger and better charging infrastructure than EA etc. What's wrong with giving infrastructure subsidies to companies who proved they have a superior product? Or do you think that everyone deserves a piece of the pie, regardless of their technical competency?
Not saying it is a good idea, but based on that one study I did not read, the amount is tolerable without acute symptoms.
Milk freezes well. If they can afford to carry UHT milk all the way there, then you might as well take the fresh stuff and freeze it. Then it'll keep.
> They've moved the needle in a positive direction

They've moved the needle towards building their ads business. As hardware refresh cycles become longer, Apple is moving towards other sources of revenue, including ads.

These changes, while positioned as Privacy, give them a huge moat and in the end, harm consumers.

Before these changes, if an app wanted to drive installs on iOS, they could choose FB or Google. Now, Apple is the only game in town and their cost-per-install are already exceeding FB's last published cost-per-install.

The Apple consumers pay for this additional revenue to Apple.
Yeah, nothing like that provided and won't have anything like that for a while. Currently you would have to wire-in your own instrumentation in the dataflow graph.

Ask HN: Installing Golang on macOS kills zsh history?
Just installed golang via the offical installer from go.dev on Ventura. Immediately this kills zsh in Terminal.app remembering history. I had to add "setopt INC_APPEND_HISTORY" to my ~/.zshrc file to get it saving again. This has happened on two machines. Has it happened to anyone else?
> "Rolling release" gets an undeserved bad reputation in my opinion

Totally undeserved IME.

For me, Arch and Manjaro, both rolling, have always been more stable than Ubuntu has ever been. At this point, I've used all three for about an equal amount of time (~2 years). On Ubuntu, 4ish years ago, my DE and stuff crashed a LOT. Hardly ever happened on either Manjaro or Arch.

It makes some kind of sense: DE devs, for example, are banging away on the latest version of their software. They'll even ask you to upgrade your DE to the latest version to see if you can reproduce an issue you found on an older version for whatever your Ubuntu snapshot is using. Paradoxically, newer software seems to have less bugs.

>So what’s your definition?

I say we take the word intelligence and throw it out the window. It's a bit like talking about the either before we discovered more about physics. We chose a word with an ethereal definition that may or may not apply depending on the context.

So what do we do instead? We define sets of capability and context and devise tests around that. If it turns out a test actually sucked or was not expansive enough, we don't get rid of that particular test. Instead we make a new more advanced test with better coverage. Under this domain no human would pass all the tests either. We could each individual sub test with ratings like 'far below human capability', 'average human capability', 'far beyond human capabilities'. These tests could be everywhere from emotional understanding and comprehension, to reasoning and logical ability, and even include embodiment tests.

Of course even then I see a day where some embodied robot beats the vast majority of emotional, intellectual, and physical tests and some human supremacist still comes back with "iTs n0t InTeLLigeNt"
Wow. That's a real bombshell. If everything he says is accurate (I haven't listened to the recordings, of course, but I'm going to assume his characterization of them is correct), then Reddit's behavior here is beyond the pale. Particularly them accusing him of making threats.

It's hard to see how Reddit can actually survive with this level of mismanagement.
The table will expand automatically to fit its contents. So wider columns like order_module_order_num should work just fine
Ah - I see where we are talking at cross purposes.

I am primarily thinking of "dirty air" in the context of airborne diseases (e.g., Covid and flu).

This can be any enclosed indoor place with people and without mitigations, i.e., doesn't require wildfires or stoves.

The mitigations to clean this indoor "dirty air" can be either replacing with outdoor air, or directly "cleaning" by removing or inactivating the disease particles (e.g., with HEPA filters / UVGI).
