> And regarding the FSD, most youtube videos I have seen run into human intervention within 20 minutes or so. Going 60 minutes without human intervention is certainly possible if you get a bit lucky but that does not mean you should take your eyes off the road for a second. FSD still has to be constantly supervised, which makes it of very limited utility. At this stage it is still a fun experiment at most.

Are there equivalent videos for Mercedes?
Agree. And deeper than that may be microcode, which we rarely see or reason about, and while may very much be there is rarely of practical use. (Ie, when learning, the distinctions may be somewhat an impediment without payoff.)
> One guy once said if I can show him our AWS usage he can give me exact configuration in GCP and cost would be 20-25% less. I was intrigued so I shared. He came back with a price estimate higher than our AWS bill!

Now I have to know more! Did you call him on it? Did he have any sort of explanation/excuse?
Sounds like roads should be paid for only by their users, and proportionally to their use. Then it would be irrelevant whether it’s a sedan or bus since everyone pays their fair share. But of course, such solutions are not acceptable to those that do not intend to pay their fair share.
Amazon worked very hard to build a culture of customer service. Google worked very hard to create tech and create a developer-first culture.

You're seeing culture in operation.
> The problem is the mistaken notion that these can be big businesses.

HN isn't a business at all. It only loses money, and in return generates some sort of goodwill or authenticity for its owners, who are extraordinarily wealthy. All problems can be ignored if we can always rely on rich people to give us what we want.
What if you create extra facilities on a unified website? I would pay for that. Maybe sub functions, chat functions and so on. You need that for more discoverability I think.
right, and then the guy who wrote the report later "killed himself" with two gunshots to the head.
Turns out leftists love self criticism for self improvements. That’s inherently bad, right?

(set aside that it often builds up to violent inner conflicts)
Wasn’t this supposed to be Kurian’s prerogative—sell enterprise services? Google product seem fine to me, but I agree that they have no customer care DNA. I was expecting someone from the outside to bring it in.
Does it support pattern matching with negative numbers?
Yes, games have to do work to support DLSS.

I am not knowledgeable enough to know how much work it is but I have played games that didn’t initially support it but eventually released an updated that added support.

There are also multiple “levels” for DLSS in games that support it, eg. Quality, performance, etc
Psychedelics promote plasticity by directly binding to BDNF receptor TrkB
Autopilot works fine in highways under 40 miles per hour. You still pay some attention but that’s also true with this, if traffic goes above 40 mph you have to take control in 2 seconds while Autopilot is more gradual
The only CS class I ever took was Huffman's "Cybernetics" (undergrad UCSC CS class) and it was a real mind-blower. The very first day he dove right into sphere packing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing) and the whole course was a great introduction to information theory.

I remember him describing how he wrote the original solution for huffman compression, crumpled it up, threw it away, and then retrieved it from the trash.

I failed the class which led to a huge imposter syndrome in me that pushed me to learn far more CS than I ever needed to know. Huffman was definitely an arrogant bastard, but he certainly taught me a lot of interesting math.
Have you noticed that anyone can get an online brokerage account and have direct market access for zero fees?

The liquidity from market makers and HFT firms have ushered in this age of free trading for the lay man. This was not possible even 10 years ago.

> It seems to me that "enabling capital to get better returns" is not a noble goal in itself

The majority of Americans own stock. Sabotaging the middle class's retirement to give a middle finger to some billionaires does not seem noble to me.
An npm install is much more dangerous than the browser, imo. But the fact remains, there is basically no usable security on linux desktops and it is a shame (especially when built on top the exact same core we have very secure systems)
Gotta love the cult of personality
It does. The system is useless. Not all freeways are even allowed.
> despite GP's remark about 'paying for resource usage', cloud providers don't actually anticipate anyone using 100% of CPU 24/7/365

Unless that's exposed to the customer (AWS burstable instances are actually okay IMO), that sounds like the cloud provider committing fraud and hoping nobody calls their bluff.
Get in the car, we're reinventing HyperCard/Smalltalk!
Personally, I think it's less of a communism or capitalism problem per se, but a representation problem of the mass of people vs a power cabal. This is a power and representation problem that neither communism nor capitalism offers particular resistance against degradation.
I've had some luck in building it on MacOS with brew, however, the investment of learning MacOS dynamic linker is too costly at the moment, and it seems to be a blocking issue right now
One could also just make the base rate $150/day and then you'll definitely make it untenable for as many people as possible, which is apparently the goal. This leads to an outcome which is you think is an unfair distribution. But luxuries are necessarily for those who can afford them.

The 'cost' of the action is the same. A vehicle in the city is a vehicle is a vehicle and therefore the toll should be flat, unless that type of vehicle in particular causes more damage to roads or empirically worsens outcomes like traffic or pollution relative to other types of vehicle. Charging people more because they are wealthier is unfairly discriminatory.
The money is being extracted through limiting housing supply and lack of infrastructure investments that support high density (efficient) housing.

Increasing housing supply means decreasing homeowner capital and harming the major investment vehicle of a generation. That's politically untenable. Sadly, the pain will be felt by us and our children until we are able to exercise political power, which will require harming our parents retirements. Maybe the answer is renters unions, how many people can the police evict at once?

Young people don't understand their rent is high because they don't vote or exercise political power.
I guess I have two answers.

First, it is not always most convenient or efficient to produce energy where you use it, and electricity needs to be generated relatively nearby where it is used, and transit lines can be expensive to build. For example, deep offshore wind seems to look like a more and more promising option, but you need some practical way to get that energy onshore.

Second, electricity is just not practical for some modes of transportation; notably cargo ships and airplanes. And these represent significant CO2 and other pollution emission sources.

Also, hydrogen is a chemical feedstock with plenty of uses besides as a source of energy.
NYC can only do it if granted the home rule authority by the state legislature - which it has.

In general, counties are pretty weak in New York.
You're right. When I think of 'decentralized', and what I meant, was something offering anonymity and resistance to takedown orders, which are things it didn't have real protection against.
Then they'll quickly be replaced because nothing about that is special - the RIAA exists because they were positioned to guard intellectual property that gave them a monopology on IP that was culturally significant.

Making and marketing an AI band isn't even interesting. Someone will be doing it on twitch and youtube an anime vtuber ensemble before the RIAA even figure out any portion of it. The media hype is because of celebrity, and AI generated stuff can't be celebrity.
In the particular case discussed here hydrogen just wins hands down. You can easily generate hydrogen at sea, but you can't bring a floating chemical plant to make other fuels. The alternative to send electricity via cable was also considered:

> For offshore wind producers, meanwhile, Lhyfe projects that adding electrolysis and a hydrogen pipeline to shore will reduce the cost of delivering their energy as wind parks move further offshore. “A hydrogen production plant plus pipeline is five to ten times cheaper, as an investment, than an electric substation plus a cable,” says Le Berre.
The CIA has done some bad shit, even to their own citizens, but are they really on the level of the KGB? Seems like the KGB was a more overt daily-life terror, whereas the CIA has a more 'occasional' history of atrocities.
i didn't try it as this requires you to give payment information for a free trial and i got sidetracked

what i did learn, is that somehow, google has all of my credit cards despite me never sharing it on the account i was using.
Hey Eddy, Arrow also allows you to serialize to disk and then utilize mmap. Compared to Parquet, the downside is that the design of Arrow makes it so storage requirements increase. If you're borrowing elements of Arrow's layout, does that not come with all the same downsides of just directly utilizing Arrow's serialization. And at that point, why not just use Arrow?
Man... I've been up all night, traveling all day, trying to adjust to the new timezone. Boy, I swear I read "sub-millisecond". Lol. Makes sense :) Thanks for the resource!
In a traffic jam. Which is most of LAs roads at least some of the time.
Valid point. I like to peruse the headlines on phys.org before I go to bed for the evening, ran accross this and thought it might be of interest to HN. Write up was enough for me, but agree that they are shit for references for those that want to dive deeper.

Cited suggestions on alternative, albeit but more formal, free paper/story summary app are welcome if you have one. I'm all ears for sure!
This is certainly a troll post. I use all three cloud providers. GCP is the worst of all, just try their simple text to speech UI. It doesn’t work most of the times.

Don’t even get me started on a deployment story for GCP their deployment manager is deprecated and redirect you to use terraform.

I hate to swallow it but Azure was more usable and straightforward.
I made this claim (single threaded performance matters) but in a parallel comment to yours noted that I was unable to find substantiating statements from apple that I believe led to my assertion.

So in that spirit I will point out that Apple's support code / framworks etc do a bunch of multithreaded UI and network stuff even when and app's code is putatively single threaded.

Now that stuff IMHO is pretty high latency (e.g. waiting on user action) so as a developer I still think my statement, and your impression, are correct. But I'd like to see something from Apple on the topic.
Huh, I thought Groups was after Dejanews.

Usenet was decentralized, but not in the current sense of the term IMO. When I think of 'decentralized', and what I meant, was something offering anonymity and resistance to takedown orders, which are things it didn't have real protection against.

I think the free labor issue could be circumvented by users having their own killfiles, and a fediverse approach of only syncing with 'good' servers.
Yea you will struggle to find a single video of drive pilot where it’s not driven by a representative from Mercedes.

In those, you can see the system disengage the second it doesn’t have a vehicle to follow at slow speeds right in front of it (like when the vehicle ahead changes lanes).

Useless.
He’s a hero for killing dogs because they annoyed him?

I think that’s sick, not heroic.
Well, yeah, obviously if you can have the best of all worlds then by all means do that, but in practice something's going to give; if you did somehow prioritize customer and employee well-being, it would almost certainly manifest in much higher prices, not actually sustaining quality, or both. (Now, charging more for a better outcome does seem like a good idea, but in practice >90% of customers will go for the cheaper option.)
Heyyyyyy!… It should be $100 minus $20 per extra person in the car.
So ... again, you're splitting hairs here. And then some.

Official "invitations" to the first round countries (PL, CZ, SK, HU) were issued around 1997 -- but that's the last step in the process. Official "talks" began much sooner. Already the formation of Visegrád Group in 1991 (whose purpose was largely to get these countries ready to integrate into the EU and NATO).

Anyway by 1993 talk of these countries joining NATO was already all over the news (NYT: "Yeltsin 'Understands' Polish Bid for a Role in NATO").

So right there -- you're way off base. The Founding Act itself it pretty long-winded, but I'm not seeing any text that "greenlights" NATO expansion (other than by simply not mentioning the topic).

As to conspiracy theories: the whole point is, what you were referring to was a certain line of (dubious) argumentation or reasoning -- "relying on snippets of facts". Which is certainly very often an aspect of conspiracy theories, but nothing to do with the key substance of the term.

No one (except fully deluded Russian apologists by this point) believes in that particular theory you cite. I certainly don't, and don't feel I need to respond to any ridiculous insinuations that I do.

Anyway, look -- you're certainly quite adept yourself at pulling up snippets of fact. But across the board -- I'm just finding your thinking to be rather muddled; you extremify and hyperbolize a lot; and that you're just not seeing the forest for the trees (in addition to getting a lot of the "trees" themselves wrong). And as a result, this discussion just isn't very productive.

So I'm going to have to bow out at this point, and let you hash these topics over in the privacy of your own thoughts. Which is a pity, sort of (since it seems we would probably agree on a lot of basic things about this conflict that other people seem to be horribly confused about -- such as who the aggressor is, and why they started it).

But at the end of the day -- not really.
You have to implement that with your own code but it isn't much more than a dict/map and a timestamp for last update.
He means the cap on the bitrate of the video that twitch will ingest. Twitch will then send this video to any number of viewers, as you say.
Short term? Reddit hasn't made a penny in 15 years.
A fork is a fork. If Elm development was open to the community and the author could’ve just added Node support to Elm do you think Gren would exist?
From what it sounds like, when you are in a traffic jam you use it and then the second that traffic jam ends you immediately have to take control.

Ngl that sounds like it requires more attention than autopilot, if you’re not doing anything and then have to take full control that sounds like it could lead to an absurdly unsafe outcome
Don't worry about definitions. Explain exactly what you're discussing, then introduce the technical term as a shorthand. Even if people had a previous understanding of that term, they'll know what you're talking about, which is all that matters.

I associate arguments about the meaning of the word "decentralization" with pseudo-arguments about how nobody wants to run a server that require "decentralization" to mean that everybody has to run a server.
For practical reasons I guess you want to be able to move furniture etc. That is about the only time you need a motor transport in dense cities?
First time I'm hearing about Kagi. I'm curious because google has been so bad latetly.

This feature piqued my interest: Ability to block/boost domains. I always wanted to boost MDN over w3schools, for example.

Will try it!
> It's not that there isn't enough electronic music being made, it's that every new track that lands on soundcloud is a drop in the ocean of mediocrity. There is _too_ much to listen to, and 99.9% is just boring to listen to, because it sounds like everything else.

Yep. this is why I don't feel like AI used in this manner moves the needle for music: people only actively listen to the best 0.1% of music anyway. The ability to create music that is firmly in the other 99.9%, as this stuff very clearly is, just means that the ocean of mediocrity has more water dumped into it.
Trams and metros however are quite reasonable.
> postmodern worldview that purports that reality is subjective and can only be understood through a scientist’s "lived experience," which in turn depends on gender, ethnicity, and other immutable characteristics. This ideology is enforced by "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" (DEI) officers and bureaucracies, which have become entrenched throughout academia.

It's really easy to argue against a thing that nobody actually believes.

#1 Boys aren't from Mars, girls aren't from Venus. Averaged over entire fields and over time disparity in representation of shit that doesn't matter to the job -- race, gender, sexual orientation is indicative of systemic imbalances.

"But girls don't choose to go into <blah>." Yes that's the problem.

"You don't see people arguing for equality in trash collectors." I am, as well
as men in nursing.

"Sexual orientation has nothing to do with science." Correct, which is why it's surprising that certain sexual orientations are underrepresented.

"Not choosing the best candidate for a position because of diversity quotas is *-ist." Correct, which is why the game is to train up people of underrepresented backgrounds and recruit from more diverse pools.

#2 Diversity in lived experience leads to better outcomes both on the small scale of teams and departments but also across whole fields.

"So political views too, right?" Yes.

"And what about majority populations?" Yes, it's not a win when departments have no white people or no men. Stop reading rage bait on the internet.
Crocs are not utilitarian (no structure or support for physical activity) and they aren’t appropriate in the wider spectrum a nice pair of shoes are.

I settled on some classic Vans after a deep internet dive signaled that they’re the most popular among homeless people for being durable and comfortable without being too expensive. They look fine, and I have a lot of freedom regarding when to replace them. I’m very happy with the decision actually. As an added benefit, they’re a welcome donation to the homeless if I don’t completely wear them out (which is basically impossible).

$500 sounds about right to me for the leather equivalent of the Vans. By the time you’ve accounted for durability and comfort without sacrificing appearances (and done it such that they can be attractively resoled) you’ll spend around that much.

I don’t have a wardrobe to match leather shoes, but the logic holds here if I did. You don’t have to be rich to daily drive a single pair of nice shoes, and the author’s tone didn’t strike me as snobbish or smug.

It’s just a different attitude. Lots of more expensive clothing gets you added features, better style, and better comfort than Kirkland. Expensive athleisure brands like Lululemon and Alo, for example, have pockets in better places and are more attractive than their Kirkland equivalents. The directly equivalent spending on the two makes for a smaller wardrobe that gets worn more often. If you have a ChatGPT Plus subscription, have a quick discussion with it about fashion. Its training is not among content from the rich but rather the internet at large, and even it will tell you that fewer nicer fashion choices make a better wardrobe than more less expensive pieces.
Oh, okay, sorry - my mistake. I have yet to use SO code anywhere, only been doing this for a few years, so I havent looked into it more.
>"and avoid being toppled like their predecessors"

Ok. You topple one. If you do not create a replacement government you will have people preyed upon by violent gangs when eventually one become powerful enough to form new government. And if you do you are back to square one. So maybe it is better to try to fix what you have while trying to avoid violence. I am not telling it is always possible but at least it can be a goal.
This seems like a very literal interpretation of "spatial computing"; I don't think anyone will be physically manipulating ASTs with any regularity.
Has anyone started an issue or PR for Jitsi? We use them exclusively for work. I'd love to be able to use OBS with work streams without awkward virtual webcam hacks.
I'd like to emphasize that ipnsort is primarily designed as the new Rust std library unstable sort, which means it optimizes for all these factors simultaneously:

- input type (including stuff that is not an integer or float)

- input size

- input pattern

- prediction state

- binary size

- compile times

- varying ISAs and Hardware

Especially binary size and compile times mean I'm not chasing the performance crown for integers in some HPC setting. I can trivially pull out another 7% perf by ignoring binary size, compile times and effects on types that are not integers https://github.com/Voultapher/sort-research-rs/commit/d908fe....
Even worse, it checks the git history to make sure that...

- There are no changes since HEAD

- The commit is signed by Robin himself

Equality would be to be able to go where you need to go, in reasonable time, cost and accomodation, regardless of class, race, gender or disability. Focusing on cars is over-indexing on one potential solution.

People want to move around. Cars are only one way of doing so.
I still don’t know a good source for finding business problems to solve. You end up having to talk to people which is slow and won’t give you a large list. Ideally I’d want a huge list to pick from.
There's also the complication that AVX512 was removed in 12xxx and down, and iirc has a softlock in 11xxx.
In what world is AWS great?
A world where they don’t have a clean way to group resources and clean them up? Their own twisted identity products in AWS that doesn’t integrate outside their cloud or their other products. A world where they leave lingering resources when you cleanup something.

AWS has to much hype riding behind it.

It’s not enterprise class and looks very incohesive.
I think not, but only based on chaos theory. The author of Gren wouldn't be nearly as fulfilled though.
Two related questions to ask yourself as an early founder:

1. If my company were to fail, why would it have happened?
2. What would have to be true in order for the company to succeed?

That's not how it works. They can't "see you reaching for the milk".
There are lots of spot colorimeter/spectrophotometer devices. A more famous one is the Pantone CapSure. Unfortunately, while that device is calibrated, it's only going to match to the nearest Pantone certified color, as opposed to capturing and storing the color that was actually sampled.

Better spot colorimeter devices will have two different calibrated white LEDs and use both of them in sequence, to get a more accurate measurement of the true color of the object you're sampling.

The big trick with these devices is the color library that they're matching against. Sometimes you really do want to match against the Pantone library, and I don't believe any devices other than the official Pantone CapSure can actually measure against that library. But most paint manufacturers, etc... have their own color library, and there are a lot of other color libraries out there. And many of those libraries are exclusively licensed to only one particular spot colorimeter device.

So, sometimes you need to have multiple spot colorimeters/spectrophotometers in order to be able to use all the libraries you want.

Yes, I have several, including the Pantone CapSure and the ColorMuse. No, none of them are perfect. They're all missing one or more libraries that I might want to use.
