Gasoline is a dangerous and volatile substance. There are numerous incidents of people being harmed by incorrect use - not just the operator but also bystanders - and millions of dollars in facility damage occurring due to insufficient training. There is a reason why Oregon requires Class C UST Operators and above have training regarding emergencies. We should require more training, not less.

Industrial substances need high standards. Within this calendar year we have been reminded of this repeatedly: train fires and derailment, the OceanGate submarine, the recent train bridge collapse carrying hazardous materials.

Gasoline can be fatal if consumed, is a known carcinogen, and is harmful to aquatic life so it needs regulation. Here is a safety sheet to warn you of the dangers https://lasierra.edu/fileadmin/documents/risk/safety/safety-...

It's important that we treat this substance with respect. Licensed operators should be the only ones handling it routinely. But of course, there's no surprise that Big Oil would like to socialize the risks and privatize the profits, speaking nothing of the job losses this will cause.
Presumably "nothing wireless, ever" makes it much easier to detect malicious wireless devices...
>Apparently one of the things that happens when a material transitions into a superconducting state is it stretches (by an infinitesimal amount) in the conducting direction. This stretching is not like usual stretching where there’s a change in the actual structure of the material. Rather, it is the bonds between each atom that stretch - pulling them into a slightly different state, one that happens to let electrons flow completely freely (ie superconducting). This “infinitesimal stretching” is usually caused by magnetic alignment, which is induced by super cold temperatures.

That kind of sounds like the tipping point when you stretch a rubber band, where the resistance kind of goes off a cliff and gets a lot easier to pull

In this case we'll have to define a "timeframe" variable in the `get_top_stories` function that takes in values like "now", "week", "alltime" etc. to make that work

> Is my experience unique?

Not at all. When my wife and I go on longer trips, e.g. north to ski or west to where my daughter was at college, she likes to do most of the driving. Sometimes I amuse myself by counting how many of the drivers around us are using their phones while driving. It's often well over 50% and that's counting conservatively - e.g. phone actually visible in their hand, not on the dash or in their lap. If police would just enforce that one law with hefty fines and loss of license, I think safety would be significantly improved.

That's an interesting suggestion. Presumably Upwork is already issuing a tax form and providing it the IRS.

I think the IRS only cares that the income is reported, not whether the income comes from legal or illegal means.
Apparently they had a sign that explained how to mute the alarm. I think that’s going to work against them. They were aware that the alarm could trigger erroneously and didn’t fix the issue.
> "build domain specific LLMS using your own data",

It seems to me that the vast majority of these people would be better off just doing semantic search with their documents chunked, run through an embeddings process, and stored in a vector database, with the search queries and results then run through an LLM at the final step to create an actual "answer". For applications where this is not practical, I agree that LoRA should be the next approach. I have a hard time believing that the future is everyone training their own domain specific LLMs from the ground up.
For those cheering on the demise of office landlords, please keep in mind the astonishing number of public and private pension plans invested in these assets. The impact will not be limited to just the landlords and will be nothing short of catastrophic to downtowns (which we’ve just spent the last 30 years trying to rejuvenate after being hollowed out by white flight to the suburbs), the character of our cities, our municipal budgets, and our economy.

Thank you for this summary! Very, very cool research.
No, think about it a lot.

The problem isn't the "nothing". The problem is your preconceived notions were wrong. They were always wrong. They didn't become wrong when this was discovered. The risk of you falling through the floor because you're supported by so much "nothing" does not change one tiny little bit when you learn how the world really works.

Your worth as a human being, or an object, or whatever, was never rooted in you being a solid object in accordance with your preconceived notions. The anchor of value is that whatever you really are, you are valuable. When you find out that you weren't what you thought you were, your value does not change. You change the value you place on the new things you discovered, rather than the other way around.

I read news articles about the origin of consciousness or how empty atoms are or whether the universe is a simulation with peace, because whatever I am, I am. My understanding of what I am is not who or what I am. It has been wrong many times before and the only sensible extrapolation of the world around me is that I am wrong in many more ways. My understanding can change, but I am what I am.

That is not to say there is nothing that would ever shake me, but this does push the frontier much farther out, certainly well beyond merely discovering that atoms are "mostly empty space".

(Which in its own way turns out to be wrong itself, or at the very least debatable. The idea that it's "mostly empty space" in my opinion quite nontrivially derives its cultural staying power precisely from the shock value you're experiencing, but not the actual truth of the situation. There's another perfectly sensible point of view that says the electrons are effectively solid in all the ways you care about, and pictures like [1] are really quite accurate and atoms really are fairly large. The "empty space" model comes from the idea that the electron is a point particle localized in one location, but that's a pre-quantum mechanics view of the world. From this perspective, yes, the floor beneath you is quite solid and not really "empty space".)

(Then you dig further, into field theory, and it turns out that even "empty space" is itself quite busy... in a weird sort of way if I'm "freaked out" it's almost about the exact opposite of "the universe is so big and empty"; the universe of the Standard Model is absolute utter chaos and we're sitting up here at a level where in roughly the time of the smallest perceivable interval (call it 50ms for convenience), the universe has gone through 10^42 "ticks", that's 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 "ticks". It staggers the mind how much the universe is doing all the dang time and how it all averages out and cancels into the visible universe as we experience it. Everyone knows that when you look "up", out into the stars and galaxies and clusters and superclusters and filaments that the universe is really big, but it is quite big "down" too!)

Personally, I don't mind it. It's a big deal in the world of open source, and as someone who was mostly uninitialized about CentOS and RHEL after all these years, I find these posts somewhat enlightening, even this one. I'll grant you that it's probably not necessary to have three posts or have them all go to HN's frontpage, but all-in-all it doesn't seem like such a big deal either. The people voted, I suppose.

It is great that you are looking into OOSC2. Yes Meyer is somewhat difficult to read since he is so thorough, precise and detail-oriented that it can become tedious at times. Take your time going through the book to get the big picture of his OO design/implementation arguments rather than the details of the Eiffel language (not necessary during the first pass). It is a huge book so skip topics as needed to focus on the essential concepts.

You should also look into Meyer's "Design By Contract" technique for writing "correct" OO and other-paradigm programs. This is of great value in real-world programming.

PS: You might also find another Meyer's book Agile! The Good, the Hype and the Ugly quite instructive - https://learning.acm.org/techtalks/agile
It's quite hard to turn modern office builds into housing. Recently-built offices have huge floors, so natural light can't penetrate into the interior. Those spaces are fine as meeting rooms, but won't suffice for living in.[1] It's possible to make apartments with no natural light, but most people don't want to live in those. If they're low in rent, maybe they'd be attractive enough. But then your rent/sqft number goes down, and so your valuation, and your building is in the red with the banks. "Just turn it to housing" isn't an easy answer.

There's still great demand for premium office space, but your average office building is going to suffer.[2]

I agree with much of this especially the lack of zero sum games, but a problem is this conversation takes oxogen away from bigger issues. We’re literally commenting on an article talking about how we still treat boys and men like they don’t or shouldn’t have emotions and thus don’t need emotional support and all the top comments are about how attacking toxic masculinity has gone too far?

Like the problem here is seeing some sort of bio-essentialism or just a form of masculinity that is unhelpful, and unhealthy in very much the kinda way that some feminist thinkers believed for a long time. Yes, I very much don’t like rad fems for a lot of reasons, but for every one of them hurting society there are 10 women and men afraid society is going soft. Do you know what the most popular source of news in this country is? Have you seen polling.

Your question floored me for a few hours, it’s a good one, but I think I’ve worked it out.

This goal applies to both men and women, but a man needs to do this in terms of protecting his family from the outside, and create the conditions that this can happen within any harsh world, whereas it’s the woman’s job to actually do it inside the bubble that the man created.

Obviously these are broad strokes and there are overlaps. But to me a man and a woman are both nothing really without a family, ultimately that’s what all this is about, it’s just how do you create that family and maintain it that’s different slightly.
I appreciate this perspective. It must be noted that it's truly nothing like stretching a rubber band, but your comment gave me sincere joy anyways.

So, it looks like you program the RA4M1, and the ESP32 is just there for wifi (and USB interface). That seems like an incredibly odd and wasteful choice. I didn't see any explanation as to why they did it that way.

I was kinda worried the interface to the ESP32 would have been like the origional ESP8266 where you used AT commands. But it looks like the Wifi library abstracts out whatever interface they're using for the ESP32, so I was at least happy to see that.

Since the ESP32 handles the USB interface, it's probably possible to program both microcontrollers. I can't imagine a practical use for that, but bet it gets done pretty quick.
Much of transient execution research over the years has been invalidated or was complete bogus to begin with. It was extremely easy to get a paper into a conference for a while (and frankly still is) just by throwing in the right words because most people don't really understand the issue well enough to tell what techniques are real and practical or just totally non-functional.

You have to stop the leak into side channels in the first place, it's simply not practical to try to prevent secrets from escaping out of side channels. This is, unfortunately, the much harder problem with much worse performance implications (and indeed the reason why Spectre v1 is still almost entirely unmitigated).

> “What’s the worst that can happen?”

As a parent of a daughter who loves baseball more than anything else, we are letting her passion guide her, even though it is a remote possibility she will become the professional baseball player she wants to be. The opportunities that are opening up for her, and the life skills and lessons she is learning wouldn't have the same impact if we were trying to steer her in a direction that wasn't of her choosing. The lesson she has learned early, and one I wish I had learned earlier, is if the worst thing that can happen is someone will say "no" then there is no reason not to try.
The other day, I saw a 1990s Chevy S-10 that had been raised to the height of a modern step-up pickup. It looked ridiculous. Similarly I was on my bike at a red-light looking to turn right with a (stock height) late-model F-150 next to me going straight. I couldn't see over its hood.

> Source: I used to work on the OS X performance team.

I am so sorry to hear that.

When I was at Apple I worked on a different part of the stack so my experience is not first hand here, but the folks I knew who worked on optimizing the shared cache either through ld or clang paint a different picture. I don't think they would ship without those performance optimizations, but I take your point that at least at the time you were there it was not as dire. That's not what it sounds like when I speak to those folks in the last year or two however (for iOS anyways). I don't think there's any universe where they wouldn't do these optis at the very least before shipping, but I don't mean that they can't have functioning non-optimized builds internally.

Certain apps mentioned above really can not ship without this stuff, but you're right about the development practices. Given the app size limits and startup time constraints as well as the coding practices it is really not feasible to not do things like LTO, objc_direct as much as possible, and align the startup path of an app by page boundary etc.

> was Uber.

I am well aware of the Uber Swift rewrite and when I say "unable to ship" I don't mean it to that extent in every case, but my point is I don't think anyone is going to worry about lengthy prod build times if having faster builds means less engagement even in the single digits.

That has not at all been my experience with Cloudflare. At a previous job, it took us just a few hours to set up and configure all the options and WAF details, etc., then they took our drive-by probes and bot spam from thousands per day to near zero. Over the course of the next year, we had less than 3 reports of blocked access from real humans; one was traveling and another was behind a shared IP organization. Is it possible some customers were blocked and left frustrated without ever telling us? Yes, but that business kept growing, and it was in an industry where most of our customers were repeat dealers that would let us know very quickly if they couldn't access the website. So if there were false positives, there weren't many.

Cloudflare saved us immeasurable time vs manually configuring firewalls and blackholes and honeypots and open-source lists -- all for $20/mo. It was an amazing service. And they blew their competitors at the time out of the water (Imperva, etc.)... much higher quality blocking at like 1/10 the cost.

If you see a Cloudflare message that the website is down, well, chances are the website is down. If they set it up a certain way, Cloudflare may have been able to cache some pages beforehand, or not... but either way, it's probably not Cloudflare's fault. The site probably would've been down even more often without Cloudflare, just without the CF error page. (That said, DNSSec is a pain and can often cause issues with Cloudflare and other proxies)

As for hCaptcha, I don't think I've ever had an issue with it (besides being unable to tell what something was, I mean)... did you have JS turned off or strict third-party blocking, perhaps?

Hang on!

I was there in 2008 during carpocalypse.

I’ve typed this before in detail, but this is NOT A LOOPHOLE!

In 2008 Obama came in and made changes to CAFE and CARB with Californias very willing help.

The news headline you might have seen, and just saw again this year with Biden Admin pushing it was “All vehicles to be XX MPG by 20YY”. To which people who know absolutely nothing about vehicles clap for. People who understand vehicles or politics know it’s something else.

What happened was Obama Admin came in and wanted to push towards an economic future that wasn’t technically possible for stoichiometric reasons.

The end result was in meetings with MFGs, the admin knowingly compromised and said “We’ll just judge a vehicle based on its size”. A single vehicle’s emissions could be 1.3 or so if it was 1.3 the footprint of a vehicle at the time.

The MFGs replied and said ”If you are going to grade us on size, we are going to give you size”. And they/we have.

Look at vehicle bodies from 2008 on. Larger every single revision.

You can’t actually legislate technological advances. What you can do is knowingly change the game so “your people” have an advantage.

There is a WHOLE lot of bullshit with CAFE and CARB (which is not just California when you understand the market), and even NHTSA anymore.

But… Do not call an intentional “gift” a loophole. Everyone involved knew exactly what was going to happen.

Sure there is. Those 90's pickup trucks were absolute death traps. Bench seating, no airbags, drum brakes, no ABS, no crunch zones. There are very good reasons that cars have become much heavier in the last 30 years.
It is worth adding that they can also take this way or reduce it at any time.

It isn't trustworthy in the same way that the downstream rebuilds were.
