Without the need of a driver, cars will increasingly be offered as a rental service rather than an ownership object. In a good month, the only expenses I pay for my car is gas, which is 150-200 USD. Do you think driverless car services will somehow be immune to the pressures every other rentier model (actual rent, SaaS, Netflix, etc etc etc) succumbs to?

You're still stuck in the mindset that space is a means to an end. If your plan is to exploit space for resources, it’s proving my point. You’re implying space exploration is just a means for resources and not an end unto itself. The fact that you use "may" is implying you're stretching to look for a silver lining to justify the answer.

And at least with current tech, the ARM programs show its too resource intensive to make sense in that regard. In other words, if there are other short-to-medium term problems that are competing for that funding (ie reality), there isn’t really a good case to be made that it’s a good way to spend constrained resources
Well, the clearest source is that no one claims the information was withheld, as far as I can tell that idea was just synthesized by podcasters and internet commenters. The Navy states, the WSJ reports (probably based on the Navy statement), and the Coast Guard mention that Navy intelligence reported the possible implosion almost immediately after it was discovered. The only thing that didn't happen until four days later was the release of that information to the public.

Many aspects of IUSS are still classified, and for example we can assume that the actual data will never be released because of sensitivity of the collection system. But the news that the Navy detected the implosion is nothing new, it would probably be more surprising if the Navy didn't (I don't know that the sound levels associated with a vessel of this type imploding are well known, maybe it could be explained away as the implosion having somehow produced almost no acoustic signature). We know that in the '60s the Navy detected submarine implosions (admittedly of larger submarines) further afield, and we also know that IUSS has seen major upgrades including new sensor arrays since then.

Yeah, it's a tricky one as people shouldn't be able to reserve spaces outside their house on a public road, but they're only wanting to do that because there aren't any facilities to lock a cargo bike to. I think a series of simple metal hoops installed on the pavement (sidewalk?) next to the road would provide a decent solution and would also prevent drivers parking cars on the pavements which is very common with our narrow roads. It's in our interest to make it easier and more convenient to get people to replace car journeys with bike journeys and cargo bikes fill a very useful niche for transporting kids and other stuff around.
So dawn soap? Nice!
Most common for me would be keyboard navigation in text editors. Emacs, for example, assumes double-spaced sentences by default when using M-a / M-e / M-k / C-x DEL for sentence-based navigation/editing: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Se...

Being able to count sentences per paragraph, words per sentence, etc. is also handy for maintaining good writing style. Excessively-long sentences or paragraphs can be trickier for folks to read; having solid metrics around sentence/paragraph length helps identify candidates for simplification.

Notice anything different here? The privacy company wanted to do what everyone else was already doing in a privacy-preserving way. They made a press release about it, and everyone got mad. But the same people are just fine using Google and MSFT which actively scans their data for the same images?

Re: positive and negative - refer to my answer in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36744384 and especially the linked Serokell interview, where we dived into this question specifically.

Re: design workflow - this is not very different from any other code. You have module interfaces, logical subsystems, separately deployable service entrypoints, etc. Our Haskell code tends to take special care to avoid statefulness and globals, but this is not any more of a design burden than writing idiomatic code in any other language (e.g. planning out your classes in Java).

Re: special tricks - we used fused-effects to model our effects, which has been pretty useful (it lets us delay teaching transformers), but this is by no means a secret that we've discovered.

I think the biggest trick is to write simple code. I think when you give a junior engineer a sufficiently powerful hammer (like Haskell and its effect tracking), they will attempt to nail absolutely everything to the wall (e.g. build a taxonomy of every possible effect and every possible exception and write your whole program in this framework for Maximum Compile Time Safety).

Avoid this. It's just not a productive use of time, and the gains to safety often are not worth the effort and velocity and overhead you paid to build the underlying framework. Focus on the high-ROI piece of the program. Write the effects that you would use for testing, do the rest in IO for now, and come back later if you find that you need more granularity in your effects. The important thing is to ship the product.

(I go into much more detail about this in the Serokell interview linked in the other HN comment.)
It seems that almost all of the functions in the POSIX library[1] assume authority do do things with the file system, threads, time, etc. This is exactly the wrong thing to give to code if you care about security. It would be a non-trivial job to fake all these calls, and tie them into PowerBoxes, etc.

Locally trained AI Agents for network device discovery
Pre-trained systems dominate AI today (as deep as the P in GPT). My team and I have been researching and building alternatives given how the hallucination, blackbox and other problems don't seem solvable within* the current paradigm.

One of our first applications is a network automation solution for Netbox-- locally trained AI Agents unique to each Netbox account to predict roles of newly added devices given the current local list of devices, like a context-aware autocomplete.

Agents are lightweight by design, this particular Netbox Agent is 40-neuron, and when hooked up demo.netbox.dev and consistently gets 80%+ accuracy predicting device roles even when trained on ~60 devices only.

Try it out: https://aolabs-netbox.streamlit.app/

You can use dummy data from demo.netbox.dev. More on Netbox: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox

We'd keen for feedback, if this is useful, how we could extend it if it is, or if it sparks other application ideas.

* Somebody has to be the pre-trainer, leaving an irreducible gap of misunderstanding between AI and its application which we are trying to diminish by adding a layer of local training.

I actually really enjoy the sensor cooking on my microwave. Single press reheat button, defrost by weight works really well, specific food cook modes are spot on (potatoes, popcorn, frozen veggies, chicken). Like, would you not want to just press a button once and have a, evenly cooked chicken breast? Or just put some frozen veggies in a bowl, press a single button, and they're nice and steamy every time?

TFA's point is that the model is horrible for creators: a revenue sharing model is only viable as long as the number of creators being shared is comparatively small. $5, $10, $20 from a few hundred or thousand viewers is a decent haul when compared to a few fractional pennies per view.

It makes sense that creators focus their efforts on cultivating personal relationships with a small, but loyal base. You're not their target demographic.

Insurance has been a scam since the beginning of time. You can move risk around, but you can't change risk. You can create incentives at best. If you fairly priced risk, the companies would not make money. The fact that it is required to have is just an indicator of how deep the grift is, like a mathematical mafia. Anywhere actually needing to rebuild your house is likely, insurance will be impossible.

Historically the hydrophones were attached to cables that were laid using AT&T cable-laying vessels, so technology extremely similar to the transoceanic cables of the time (thus AT&T's involvement). The change to IUSS added the ability of mobile sensors to report into this system, so there's apparently something available there (I would assume satellite). We also know that the Navy possesses buoys that trail hydrophones, and I would assume these can be integrated into IUSS as well. The modern details get to be classified though.

As I understand it most of the original SOSUS arrays are still in operation, but I think they're more useful for scientific research than submarine surveillance at this point just because the newer arrays are much more sensitive. The locations of the original SOSUS arrays aren't totally public but you can put together some pretty good inferences about a lot of them, for example based on the NAVFACs that had similar cover stories and then closed at around the same time. Each one would have been the landing station and control point for a '60s array.
Single payer in the US simply means the patient doesn't front any money. The doctor/hospital/... just gets the money for medical services rendered directly from insurance (and insurance collects things like a deductible from the patient, not the doctor. Essentially, insurance guarantees payment to the medical provider and deals with all patient financial matters). Medicare and medicaid are single payer.

Things aren't called the same thing everywhere. For example, "single payer" is called "third payer" in Northwest Europe.

Expensive (e.g. expat) insurance tends to be single payer/third payer even though it is 100% private insurance. You just go to a doctor, they help, other than your insurance card, no questions asked.

On this:

> Instead, the battle of submarine silence has mostly revolved around obscure technical problems of fluid dynamics, since one of the loudest noises made by submarines is the cavitation around the screw. I don't know if this is true today, but at least years ago the low-noise design of the screw on modern US submarines was classified, and so the screw was covered by a sheath whenever a submarine was out of the water.

I wander if they are Toroidal or "tipless" propellers? They create less turbulence and cavitation.

I live near a Big Ten university in the Midwest, and they use these little trucks and vans for their maintenance crews. I imagine that for an institutional user with multiple of them, things like getting approval and spare parts is easier. One thing they probably help with is that a major university typically has horrific parking, but you can cram one of those little trucks into a place that a car won't fit into.

Did you check the references? And how long did you thought about the arguments? How much did you invest into finding flaws in them? Because this is a big problem with entertaining content and especially TikToks hyperfast attention-mill. While something can appear good in the moment of consumption, it doesn't mean this actually is true. And TikTok doesn't give you much time until the next topic high jacks your mind and pushes your attention somewhere else. This can be very dangerous..

The rationale is silly, but the project itself looks interesting. No need to tie it in to civilization collapse though, an odd marketing angle really.
It is a free market, about 30% of all hospitals and doctor offices in the US are a for profit private corporation, thus they can be acquired as any other business by anyone. Like with pharma, most people have the very big misconception that just because its about health, that hospitals are excluded from free market and capitalistic principles. When someone offers hospital services or starts developing a new drug, he can charge whatever price he wants, and he will do it as long as profits are maximized and don't start to plunge due to too large price hikes (+ conflicts with insurance companies etc.). Hospitals in countries like Switzerland are known for the best medical treatment because they are almost 100% for profit - private / investor owned. Running a hospital is a business as any other + 95% of the US population has a healthcare insurance anyway. At topics like healthcare, most people are simply too much Hollywood educated and debate with irrelevant individual experiences.

Just do it because you will have a better life. You don't need much more reasons than this.

There's a reason why every 8086 opcode matches something. If an instruction didn't match anything, I think the microcode engine would spin idle and the instruction would never terminate. (You need a RNI micro-instruction to end microcode processing.) Having your processor lock up due to a bad opcode is something that the designers presumably explicitly avoided.

The 6502 on the other hand, didn't take such precautions. There are opcodes that cause the internal timing state machine to sort of fall off the end, causing the CPU to lock up and even an interrupt won't rescue you. You need a RESET signal.
Do you have a reference on any of those? I can only find papers about lab setups. Since wavelength of IR is much shorter phase control of different emitter is much harder to accomplish than in the radio. Moreover thermal deformation of the device would affect the phases much more significantly.

I had no idea Narragansett was now considered a craft brewer. I’m used to the old ‘gansett from my youth that was cheap but a bit too sweet in the wrong way (probably due to the corn they use.) I drink it once and a while just for the nostalgia trip.

Only in the past week or so I tried their citra session and was impressed. It’s really decent and yet still not expensive. I’ll have to try their other offerings.

I hope they do save Anchor Steam, they always had really quality brews that weren’t over the top in like so many new brews are today.
> It varies per employer, e.g. I got one up to £1500. More annoying is that it must cover the full price: e.g. you can't pay £100 cash to get a £1600 ebike (although some sellers may fiddle the price tag to get around this!)

The only time I used cycle-to-work was many years ago, so I might have misremembered. However, I've heard that current schemes tend to just give out vouchers that can be used in certain bike shops (e.g. Halfords) on bikes and bike accessories and can be used in part payment for bikes. To be honest, increasing the price limit only really helps people who already committed cyclists, so maybe it's at a fair level.
