Mercedes' system does not do most of the things Tesla's does, right? Such as stop at stoplights or make turns, or do anything at all off-highway. It's a significantly different product, and since they didn't try to do many of the things Tesla is trying to do, it's pretty difficult to claim that those things aren't necessary because Mercedes didn't do them, when they haven't even attempted to deliver the same feature.
Yeah it's great. You can pack up and leave whenever.

While that won't erase what the accused have gone through during 16 months(!) of detention, I think it's still good news to see that the State has been condemned for its actions.

The "proofs" for conspiracy were apparently very light and the fact that the accused had used privacy protection measures, like instructions for a de-Google'd smartphone, Tails, TOR and encryption, were apparently enough to sue, detain and to have the DGSI investigate... I wonder what would happen if a similar case happens in the U.S.: they would have perhaps been suggested to have a plea bargain and plead guilty and serve X years in prison, and maybe liberated after Y years for good conduct. But, oh wait, being convicted of terrorism actually sentences you to 30 years[1] in the U.S. so you'll most likely rot in a cell and be forgotten by everyone except your captors.

> Dense housing doesn't result in traffic congestion.

Yes, it does. And the relationship is causal.

> If more people live closer together there is more population density, but as long as they can access commercial areas easily then they can do their shopping and work and recreational tasks without cars.

What a bunch of bullshit.

> Are you seriously arguing that adding more space for cars makes cities less congested?

Not quite. Nothing can help hellscapes like Manhattan. They just need to be slowly de-densified, it'll take generations, but it will be done eventually.

Cities should make sure that they don't rely on transit, and the rest will follow.
Some supermicro will default to put IPMI on the shared primary nic if the dedicated IPMI nic has no link at poweron.

I've heard an argument that schools are supposed to pay for themselves. The idea is that people who go to school end up in a higher tax bracket, so it's an investment, not merely public good. Similar arguments are made for parks and recreation; more open space, less noise, so less stress-induced heart attacks, which means more years being a taxpayer.

I think this is a toxic way of thinking of things, but I guess it allows even the most greedy politician to live with himself for not opposing schools.

Graeber & Wengrow propose an interesting set of 3 measures:

>But for us, the key point to remember is that we are not talking here about ‘freedom’ as an abstract ideal or formal principle (as in ‘Liberty, Equality and Fraternity!’). Over the course of these chapters we have instead talked about basic forms of social liberty which one might actually put into practice: (1) the freedom to move away or relocate from one’s surroundings; (2) the freedom to ignore or disobey commands issued by others; and (3) the freedom to shape entirely new social realities, or shift back and forth between different ones.

>What we can now see is that the first two freedoms – to relocate, and to disobey commands – often acted as a kind of scaffolding for the third, more creative one. Let us clarify some of the ways in which this ‘propping-up’ of the third freedom actually worked. As long as the first two freedoms were taken for granted, as they were in many North American societies when Europeans first encountered them, the only kings that could exist were always, in the last resort, play kings. If they overstepped the line, their erstwhile subjects could always ignore them or move someplace else. The same would go for any other hierarchy of offices or system of authority. Similarly, a police force that operated for only three months of the year, and whose membership rotated annually, was in a certain sense a play police force – which makes it slightly less bizarre that their members were sometimes recruited directly from the ranks of ritual clowns.

>It’s clear that something about human societies really has changed here, and quite profoundly. The three basic freedoms have gradually receded, to the point where a majority of people living today can barely comprehend what it might be like to live in a social order based on them.

You know how you could REALLY fix that?

1. Actual car checks everywhere. I've seen some crazy cars in the US that would be impounded ASAP in most of Europe.

2. Add pedestrian safety requirements for new cars, which would practically ban tall cars (trucks and SUVs) except for professional use.

3. Something for smartphones, not really sure about the best attack angle.

This "might not ever happen" self driving shtick is just moving the goalpost into the middle of nowhere.
He was free to chose his own pronouns and keep his gender ideology to himself. The company is also free to chose the policy that maximizes the well-being of most employees. Instead, he decided to engage in proselytizing at work, well deserved imo.
Why are you quoting "accept liability" as if its something I actually said?

> Show me the contract (or hell, even a press release) where Mercedes acknowledged accepting liability in the US.

I'm not sure why this is the bar to clear, there is no reason Mercedes would want to potentially open themselves to more responsibility than the law requires. That said, it should be obvious to most people that Mercedes is taking some legal exposure when they:

1) call their product SAE L3 when SAE L3 is the legal definition of a vehicle where the operator doesn't have to pay attention under certain circumstances.

2) tell the user they can watch movies while driving! (no US manual available yet but they make a similar statement in the press release) https://moba.i.mercedes-benz.com/baix/cars/223.1_mbux_2021_a...

That very obviously speaks to their level of confidence in their system compared to something like FSD:

> It may do the wrong thing at the worst time, so you must always keep your hands on the wheel and pay extra attention on the road.

The claim that there's a possibility of a sudden intelligence explosion.

Like i said above you can argue that an AGI can be realized because there's plenty of us running around on earth but claims about a hypothetical super AGI are unfounded and akin to Russell's Teapot.
Over the last handful of years, it does seem like HN commenters have become much more negative about tech advances.
Folks, don't downvote me, show me where Mercedes actually says they are taking liability for actual cars that are actually on the road with customers. What people cite on this is a vague marketing puff piece from a year ago. If they are doing it, it should be pretty easy to find out how that is structured from their website or whatever the car owner has signed, or just like literally any evidence whatsoever.
Every time you disengage it invites you to leave immediate voice feedback as to why, and presumably they are using all this feedback in conjunction with camera and data feeds from cars that are opted in (which includes all FSD beta cars I believe).

So, they are getting what they need to make it better.
They’re not as bad as cars but they still take up a fair amount of space and pollute (noise, fumes) heavily. A modest discount seems appropriate but they definitely should still cost more than transit.
To be fair, London has looked at the platform screen doors thing a few times too and dismissed it as unaffordable.

New lines get PSDs but there doesn’t seem to be a realistic prospect of retrofitting existing ones any time soon.

>The M2 core is probably in the same ballpark as Zen 4 core, likely a tiny bit below.

The 7950x is running at 5.7Ghz when only a single thread is saturated. The M2 Ultra caps its cores at 3.5Ghz. A 62% higher clock speed, at a monster power profile, to barely beat it isn't evidence of a core advantage.

>24 M2 cores manage to beat 16 Zen 4 cores also at lower power

The M2 ultra has 16 real cores, with 8 additional efficiency cores that are very low performance. And of course the M2 Ultra could pretty handily trounce the 7950x because the latter has to dramatically scale back the clock speed, as the power profile of all 16 cores at 5.7Ghz would melt the chip. And of course the 7950x has hyper-threading and hardware for mini-versions of 16 more cores, so in a way it has more cores than the Apple chip.

>This doesn't account for the AVX512 of Zen4.

AVX512 is used by a tiny, minuscule fraction of computers ever in their history of existence. It is the most absolute non-factor going.

I mean...in an ideal world Apple would get the GPU off the core. It limits their core and power profile, and takes up a huge amount of die space. They could then individually mega-size the GPU and the CPU. They could investigate mega interconnects like nvidia's latest instead of trying to jam everything together.

Was Apple correct to call it the most powerful chip? Certainly not. And there is a huge price penalty. But they're hugely, ridiculously powerful machines that will never leave the user wanting.
I think a robust eye-tracking functionality for code editors has a ton of potential for the Vision Pro. A lot of the barriers and benefits of vim/emacs style navigation can be replaced or augmented by smart, interpretive eye tracking. It’s like digging into the future where machine starts to read our minds, and an intimate integration of where you look is a big step.
You can screw up everything if you try hard enough. LA is an example of that.

On the other hand, the Greater Houston Area has a similar population to NYC, yet it has 26-minute commutes versus 36 minutes for NYC.
Unless they use other methods or restructure the current infrastructure.
Another great example is the fact that the BQE cantilever is probably going to collapse before anyone can agree on how to replace it and do so.

So far we have reduced a lane to minimize wear & tear, reduced max tonnage for trucks going over it, and are installing advanced automated ticketing to ticket big trucks attempting to go over it.

That's well and good, but salt water corrosion and bureaucratic inertia are going to get some people killed at this rate. And let's not pretend it can simply be done away with. Where do we expect all the goods & services flowing in/out of the city via truck to go otherwise.. local roads through city streets.. how is this not a significantly worse outcome?

Right now we have a lot of vetos with different agendas - anti-car degrowrethers, NIMBY rich BK Heights owners praying on their lottery ticket if their park expands & view improves, and bureaucrats happy to not have to spend $BBillions to replace the thing.

Sometimes living in NYC feels like the opposite of an headline I once saw re: Japan & Italy, where their strategy was described as "Beautiful decline"... for NYC its Ugly Decline.

"I don't own a car" is often a mantra of folks who think we can simply do away with infra like the BQE for example. People live frictionless lives in their apps, clicking buttons and goods just magically appear at their doorstep. The gritty truth of how those goods get there is another story.

On another note, we apparently are incapable of putting trash in bins, for many reasons. One of which is that the DSNY unions would need to be negotiated with. So for our great push to reduce the rat infestation in the city, we've done the dumbest, least effective, most costliest stuff instead.

Rather than mandating containerized garbage or moving up trash collection times to be overnight, what did the city do? Mandate buildings put out trash after 8pm instead of 6pm. Mind you it's not picked up until 6am. So the rats have a 10 hour feast instead of a 12 hour feast, how does this make a difference?

And what is the cost? Every single building in the city now needs staff schedules shifted or expanded such that their super/porter/maintenance guy is around after 8pm to take out trash. For the city, it's "free", they don't have to budget anything. But for residents, its yet another cost of living with really no benefit.
GIMP desktop install provides python scripting. The reverse shell capability comes from reverse shell specified on command line.

I have driven in pretty much every major North American city and NYC isn't even in the top 10 of worst traffic or places to drive, there are some times and specific areas where it can get bad but I'd happily drive in NYC every day than have commute in Seattle.

I think at least in part that's due to the fact that bad drivers are scared away by New York so don't even attempt to drive there, or if they do they give up quickly.

NYC also has the only public transit system in the US that I don't mind taking so I'm sure that play a role as well.
I live in NYC, have taken the tube when I lived in London. I've also lived in other cities like Seoul, Tokyo with superior public transportation. The "aesthetics" aspect that you describe is an incredible understatement. The nearest MTA station is covered in feces and used syringes and I'm not exaggerating. Trains are constantly late. Apparently building a barrier and a gate on the platform is a 10 year, trillion dollar project. I have to put my back to a wall because I'm worried some crazy person will push me onto the track. Yeah, I wouldn't concur with the statement on MTA being so functional.

That’s lower mileage than the car I bought 25 years ago, and it made far less noise pollution.
I've created several tickets against both AWS and GCP and had good and bad experiences with each. I actually used to have mostly bad experiences (a lot of useless back and forth, wrong answers, etc) with GCP but the last few years it's actually gotten significantly better. For example, we found a bug with autoscaling specific instance types (it's now posted as a known issue) and it was acknowledged and workarounds suggested without much hassle.
Pedantically, sysadmins always counted the power consumption (or, compute density) when upgrading servers, and would even do early upgrades as a cost saving measure.

Power costs (in datacenters at least) were high enough that buying the €10,000 server that sucked 200w more was worth less than the €15,000 machine that didnt suck that extra 200w.

So electricity prices can be more than a negligible amount on the total.

Where that line is depends on your personal situation.

I live in southern sweden and they hide the total price of power here, but aggregated my cost per watt is 5sek/kWh (roughly €0.45).

So a worst case for me at 200w with 24hrs of usage is about €800/y
The RISC OS, specifically the "Arthur" version released in 1987, was the first to have something like the Dock. Look at the screenshot on the Wikipedia page.

Task energy is a more reasonable argument than whinging about how some people care so much about power.

Everyone cares about power, at a fairly similar level - maybe 2-4x differences, but not 10x. And most of the ones who care underestimate how rarely their machine is actually fully busy.

Idle power is probably more interesting than even task power, for anything other than an unusually busy server or cloud hypervisor.

I thought he had put it as a joke ("Assigned by God said that Assigned by God's tickets need to be triaged before Assigned by God's holiday") and firing him was a huge overreaction, but did not at first consider that someone might be so entirely serious about that. Though still sounds weird to me, both that you'd fire someone for just that (or maybe there's more going on) or that if you knew you could be fired for just that, that you'd do it anyway.
Hey, what about all of the people driving cars that buy the products from those oil giants? Why not just go open season on all of humanity?
And yet NYC having built only a handful of stations in the last 40 years, couldn't be bothered to include them even there.
Thank you! That got me past the error and on to the next one. :)
Show HN: Reddit Archiving Tool
Inspired by the ongoing call-to-action by the Internet Archive team over at /r/DataHoarder [1], I've decided I want to try to preserve all cybersecurity related subreddits. [2]

For people that don't know what's going on: There's a likelihood that the try to monetize the Reddit API will lead to a lot of moderators quitting the platform, and it could be that a lot of subreddits are going to be set on private and/or their threads are going to be deleted. At least that's kind of the fear from the ongoing moderator strike.

In my case I learned a LOT from reddits' discussions about malware, exploits and how they work, and without those I certainly wouldn't be where I am today ... so I'm trying to preserve them.

As the Archive Warrior only scrapes the HTML directly to the Web Archive, I'm trying to preserve the data itself directly as JSON files; with intent to store it later on IPFS (having been inspired a couple days ago by the-eye-team's effort to archive RARBG on IPFS).

I just wanted to let people know here about the tool, and in case you want to archive your favorite subreddits, feel free to modify it.

There are some limitations though, because listings (new/hot/top/search) are all limited to 1000 entries, which means that the discovery of old threads is quite limited.

Keyword search increases the discovery of old threads. In my case I'm searching for a lot of keywords (like CVE, RCE, vulnerability etc) in order to discover more threads.

Would love to hear feedback, currently it's just a prototypical quick n' dirty tool because the threat of my favorite subreddits going dark is quite immediate. I tried to reduce as much noise from the schema as possible, and the tool is only archiving the subreddit threads and comments, with the idea to be able to scrape the websites/blog articles at a later point in time.

That's not how I read it. He was "pressured" or forced depending on how you interpret the article to play that game and couldn't leave it blank. So he lashed out a bit when provoked. At least he took a stand and didn't just capitulate and play that stupid game. I wouldn't say I agree with putting something inflammatory, but it's way more respectable that just letting something absurd get forced on you. I would have just quit. (Same as I would quit if I was asked to affirm I believed in the principles of any religion, as sometimes comes up).

I am an atheist but my best friend from college is a devout catholic and he tells me similar things about having to keep his religion under wraps at work because he'll get coworkers going on a vendetta against him otherwise. I believe him. Others have confided all manner of discriminatory and hateful remarks aimed at the religious to me, knowing that I am an atheist and therefore believing that I sympathize with their anti-theist bigotry (I do not; being an atheist is not synonymous with being an anti-theist.)

This industry has a real problem with tolerance. It's all sunshine and roses if you fit the mold, but if you dare to be a little different all the knives come out.
Every time cities encourage people to drive less, it has immediate benefits for quality of life and health. I’d be shocked if this is more than a rounding error on the impact of telework, especially since prioritizing residents over commuters frees up a ton of real estate for desperately needed housing.

This is perfectly in line with many people's belief. Pronoun selection is intended to be arbitrary to serve your own identity...except when someone objects to a specific selection.

The Jedi religion evolution in Australia, at least gave a line (that Jedis were able to cross) for what constitutes a religion. I have little faith that a more comprehensive ruleset for pronouns will come out of California.
There are lots of dirty tricks to determine the user's preferred language, which work for 95% of the population, and unfortunately are sometimes very frustrating for the rest.

For example, some browsers default to en-US, so as a response, websites (mainly: google) ignore that locale and fall back to geoip-based guessing in that case.

One workaround is to explicitly set a locale other than en-US, yet an acceptable one. I personally choose en-CA. One side-benefit is SI measurement units.
Huh, what station? I also live in NYC but haven’t seen any subway stations nearly that bad. Grimy, definitely. But never what you’re describing.
