I am keen to hear from insiders on how upper management is framing this. I would love it even more if some of the devs involved would question the underlying (profit) motives before spearheading the next Chrome release.
Once in a former life, I was an assistant editor for a place that would do a lot of work for commercials with ad agencies. There was one client in particular that was known to be difficult to work with specifically because they thought of themselves as very particular about the kerning of their on screen text. After a while, the editor would get annoyed with the constant tweaking "a little more, a little bit less, perfect". So as a test, the editor just started tapping the keyboard to sound like key presses but without hitting a key to adjust the kerning. The same "a little more, a little less, perfect". The editor then just started doing what needed to be done, and then played the client's little game with new rules.
Current cars usually have gateways that route messages around different busses. This would protect you from having unwanted messages arriving on secured buses, but pass through the wanted messages.
Needing one person per truck waiting at highway off ramps to drive it the rest of the way negates most of the advantages of the system. Unless you can figure out the last mile you aren't making any money switching to autonomous driving, and the last mile problem is much easier to solve with small cars than semis.
Googlers only dissent about issues handcrafted to be distractions, anything Google does that threatens the preservation of open and free societies is fair play.
Ah I see. I will check on that but you would think that as soon as you get on the highway that estimator would change. It is also the first place someone would look for range, not inside navigation so I would call that false advertising…
What if they ask another doctor instead?

What if the case is so straightforward (you've see thousands of these, hundreds a year, the entire system is built around them) that you know the diagnosis in less than the blink of an eye?

What if it's emergent, and you have no time to think, like a major hemorrhage? Not only is it obvious, but you must act now, right now?

What if there is a highly studied, routinized process (e.g. cardiac arrest) where you're managing a team going through the diagnostic procedure and treatment, which, over decades, have become a carefully interleaved dance performed at stacatto pace, and, again, there is no time to consult an LLM?

What if? What if? What if?

Are you so certain?
I encourage you to be clever when obtaining computers and find one that is actually designed to be a proper PC.

It surely shouldn't be hard for any clever person to find out such offers, it might even lie beside that shinny chromebook one.
Myself thanks to my schizotypy I never managed to score better than the low 90% (B+) on math tests in high school, once I got to college I got more practice and got better at it and got A’s consistently.
>People with an already functioning browser that ships with their OS have to make a conscious decision to download and install Chrome. Most people would not do that if the default browser of their OS was serviceable.

We live in the 1950's, I work for Maddison Street and build a massive ad campaign putting ads everywhere you look about smoking, saying how it's so cool and beneficial for your health and how all people should do it if they wanna be cool and healthy. After a while, consumers already happy with breathable atmospheric air become smokers en-masses, voluntarily, putting toxic fumes in their lungs to look cool as advertised.

Who's responsible here?
There are available options on the scale between “decriminalization/legalization” and “execution”.

Social safety net, mental health services, and other forms of dignity in civil society being some of them.
This isn’t how boring big corp works - teams is free and slack isn’t. This is because MS office licenses are 100% necessary / paid for already, and SSO is mandatory. I know a big 4 accounting firm I worked at switched exactly along these lines, so that’s ~ a million licenses.
This outcome is obvious when an ostensible ad-company (the Fox) builds the web browser (the henhouse).
I think you need specific parking lots by major cities where you do the man/machine changeover, but otherwise this very much needs to happen.

Aside from not paying a driver, it doubles the utilization of the trucks when they don't have to be parked while the driver sleeps. Huge efficiency boost.

I have a mental model which goes something like this:

When 80% of your energy goes to waste than all the incidentals like AC and especially heating just does not surface as a contributing factor.

When however 80-90% of energy goes to driving, then speed and all the accessories start having a real impact.

It also shows how energy dense gasoline/diesel are that a 50kg tank will outperform 400kg batteries even with the 4-5x efficiency difference.

I don't think a username on someone else's service is comparable to a domain name. You buy a domain name. People go directly to your domain name. I would bet 90% or more of navigations to a github profile are linked from some other source (e.g. easy and borderline immediate to change) as opposed to typed into the url bar directly.

To be clear I think it's shitty for GH to change someone's username, especially without a lot of communication first, but I don't think it rises to the level of having any sort of damages you could try to litigate even in the worst cases.
Yeah, GP is forgetting what the browser landscape looked like in 2008.

IE was awful, and Firefox was…perfectly cromulent. Chrome was so much better than any of the competition.
> The bad thing: Teams would never have gotten any success without malpractice. The product is an incredible horror show, all competition easily crushed Teams. They are smart and counted on lazy admins.

Huh what? IME, it's many MANY miles better in user experience than Cisco Webex and Skype for Business, these were absolute clusterfucks, unlike Zoom it doesn't do very weird hacks in the installer that led to security issues [1], and unlike Slack it has absolutely zero problems scaling to hundreds-of-users videocalls. Haven't experienced using landline telephony gateways with it yet, but I'll be glad to get rid of Cisco Jabber as well. Sorry to say it but Cisco's stuff is stuck many years in the past, their focus was on insanely expensive telephony systems and fancy conference room setups for too long. If there's one company that deserves disruption, it's them.

The point that competitors can rightfully complain about is the seamless integration with the rest of Office 365 products (create/provision Teams meetings from Outlook directly, and streaming Powerpoint presentations directly to clients as files instead of screengrabbing)... but hey, again, the UX is so much better.

The entire UFO congress interaction has seemed like a large distraction away from items like the fed raising interest rates again with the reasoning still to tackle inflation. I don't say this to trigger a debate on politics or flamebait , this seems like peak "hey look over here" material.

I wish we had events unfolding to hurl us into a new age of space progress, but the "non human biological" stuff was definitely actual dog shit or someone's lunch.
All of them.

> Otherwise it's simply abusing dominant market position.
I'll literally repeat myself, since I think the point was abundantly clear:

>> That only makes sense if there's strong correlation between the first 50% of a charge and the second 50% of a charge, but NOT an equally strong correlation between the previous charge cycle and the current charge cycle.

But "That", I mean using optimistic estimates at the beginning of a charge cycle but a model based on historical driving about half way through a charge cycle.

There's no reason, prime facie, that future discharge rate should be better-correlated intra-charge than inter-charge, especially for recent charges, and especially if you have lots of historical charge/discharge cycle data for both the machine, the geographic area, and the individual driver.

The question is not "why not be perfect". The question is "why not do inter-charge forecasting the same way you do intra-charge forecasting".
Show HN: BikeBus - A organizing tool for BikeBusses
I started building “BikeBus” as a way for groups to organize children’s BikeBus to school.

1.0 release will be web only. I am not a web developer.

Features:
1. Plot routes
2. Make a BikeBus
3. Create an Organization
4. Bulletin Boards for Messaging

The Organization feature will have some premium functions as it can handle multiple BikeBus and meant to help school districts track timesheets. Schools will be able to assign staff to help out. New Oregon law allows this.

This is a web app using Ionic framework with React.

Any broad feedback about pricing and holes in the UI: please let me know!
Musk is pretty much the whole reason. People have a much easier time remembering sleazy business practices when there's a celebrity CEO whose personality matches the crime.

If you think about the CEOs of major corporations, the only ones who are personally memorable for the public are founders. How many exceptions can you think of, memorable personalities that were hired as CEOs or rose to become CEO of established companies? Lee Iacocca is one, barely. Carly Fiorina manages to be forgettable even though she ran for president. I'm sure there are more exceptions, but not enough to invalidate the rule.

So why can flamboyant or quirky people like Musk or Zuckerberg not get hired as CEOs of huge corporations? At least part of the reason is that being bland and forgettable is part of the job requirements. It makes it that much harder for the public to remember the sleazy things they learn about a company. A crime committed by a faceless company is like a natural disaster. A crime committed by Tesla is easier to see as human evil, because we can see how Musk revels in his unaccountability. There's a story: evil person did evil thing. And an obvious corollary: evil person must be prevented from doing more evil! If Tesla had replaced Musk with a faceless professional CEO, there would be no story, just "bad thing happened for inscrutable reasons."
That's a good point, what do you use the Internet for anyways? News, banking, governmental rituals, maybe searching for a book or a topic to learn. Sometimes a work meeting or an email or wasting time watching YouTube or listening to music. These all don't need drm or whatever. Some don't even need internet, you can just download files like your grandfather did 10 years ago
So to me it looks like these companies need to offer a better bundle. That is either substantially better in quality or value than MS is offering.
I have an S so I'm biased but this feels like a hit piece.

Range is of course always going to be an estimate. Marketing is always going to be a battle of who has the bigger number. Having people schedule an appointment to fix their "broken" cars that can only go 470 instead of 500km is of course going to be a waste of time and money.

I'm part of a facebook group for tesla owners and literally every day this week there has been a post that goes something like "I left my house with 500km, drove 1km and now it says 497km. Should I schedule an appointment?" With the common advice being to switch to % instead of distance and remember that it's an estimate.

While I think Tesla (and most manufacturers) could do a better job at education, and of course having empathy for people who have spent a lot of money on something and worried it's defective, I don't think anything in this article is as damning as it sounds.
Why would they dissent... you think Pichai is writing the code himself?

Google employees are the ones writing this code, doing the designs, the QA, the project planning.

You can't expect the people who work for these companies to do the right thing. Time and time again, it requires outside forces. Either customers or legislation.
I'm doing this with an apple tree right now :)
There are a dozen news articles that say it was missing, and even your picture looks like it's just the mount point, not the crash arresting system itself.
You mean the tiny little 20px banner at the top? Hardly an issue IMO. Medium has a pretty sustainable, but different than most blogging platforms, business model.
Lee and Kim have been working on this stuff for a long time. They published prematurely after major falling out within their institute.

This isn't 1 experiment as the Germans seem to think. There are multiple papers, patents, etc.

The main focus of these papers has been to make huge claims and make replication very easy. They are "all in" and they want others to call.

If they were bluffing they would be heavy on results and light/secretive on how to make the stuff (trade secret, etc).

That's why there are 2x papers published within 3 hours, both with different authors, and you have one author telling New Scientist he did not approve of a paper naming him as an author.

Kia is always a mixed bag. On the most important fundamentals they produce a good value vehicle. But they are able to reduce prices by cheaping out a bit on drivetrain components. E.g. axles and CV boots that wear quicker, just slightly cheaper parts. If you watch the Munro Live videos when they tear down an analyze the engineering, they often concur with this.

And it's all fine if you drive your vehicle for <150,000km (100,000miles) and then sell or move on, but my experience with them is that after that they start to have mechanical parts issues. Which makes sense because they've effectively optimized for the most common consumer vehicle ownership pattern. But.
They’ve made their money through a combination of information asymmetry and gray-area or outright illegal practices (e.g. tax shenanigans). Their returns are literally unbelievable if they are operating within the bounds of regulations.
But that does actually need to have been the case, you can't just contrive a hypothetical financial loss.
Ask HN: Finding complimentary technical people
Any suggestions on how to find a technical person for a project?

I'm working with a couple people but we need someone with React skills to compliment the group.

It's a niche product in a profitable industry where we have contacts who will give feedback. We'd all get paid if we can sell the product.

I've spread the word through friends and coworkers. Any other ideas?
The problem is if right-wingers start opposing it publicly en masse there will be a significant chunk of left-wingers who will support it in response.
It’s very expensive though, compared to a local SIM. It’s not really a replacement for local SIMs, it’s more like a good international roaming plan from your home country, more convenience at a higher cost.
I leave the battery meter set to percentage, the “miles” option is really just percentage dumbly mapped to miles.

The golden number in a Tesla Is absolutely the navigation route estimate. While navigating you can open the Energy app as well to see more detail, how you are doing compared to the estimate, and specific factors affecting consumption.
It's untenable to have a fox as guardian of the chicken coop, this shit will return again and again as long as Google controls Chrome. Come on, lets see some serious anti-trust action.
Apparently the 2 main guys, Kim and Lee have been working on this since 1999 and hence the name "LK-99". They worked on other things in industry over the years with this on the back burner and a few years ago received some funding to pursue this. Kwon was brought in to babysit essentially.

At this point they were able to isolate the material but it took a few years to figure out how to produce it reliable. They bring in HyunTak who has Western ties and has a respectable reputation being a well known physical chemist.

They file patents in 2022 and 2023 and some in the group are nervous that because the process is so simple they'll get scooped. Spies, etc.

HyunTak wants to do more work before publishing but Kwon just goes ahead and published the paper with him, Lee, and Kim as the authors. HyunTak gets word of this and publishes his paper with him, Lee, and Kim and some others later that day.

I think because of this, it is real. Infighting over credits and the fact that HyunTak is extremely respectable.
> but it wouldn't have reached such insane popularity on pure merit and word of mouth alone.

It was just soooo much better than the competition. I mean, Firefox was better than IE6, but that was not a high bar to pass in the first place. The thing that won over developers IMO was the developer tools: Firebug was slow as molasses and an utter memory hog. And that didn't change for many years - but by the time Firefox caught up, it was too late.
It’s meant for people who have a lot of duplicate data and store small files. Anyone who has data that cannot be deduplicated much would be paying tons of money.

While on the price, patio11 (Patrick) has written an article about tarsnap’s issues more than nine years ago (April 2014). One of the suggestions was to raise prices, IIRC. It’s a long post, but you can read it [1] and the HN post [2] from that time.

The robotaxis struggle with dropoffs and pickups for this reason I think.

In a dense city, there’s often nowhere you can legally stop. Real taxi drivers will often just stop in the middle of the street, or double park temporarily.
I think you’ve misunderstood both posts.

SafetyNet is deprecated, but it’s just been rolled into Play Integrity which does all the same things. All the same concerns still apply to Play Integrity.

GrapheneOS is asking developers not to use SafetyNet/Play Integrity (because they presumably block GrapheneOS), but instead to use the native hardware attestation API so they can specifically allow GrapheneOS keys. If a developer doesn’t allow their keys, they’ll be blocked.
I think it's basically some PM taking a stand at Tesla with the fact that there's just no good estimate possible without knowing the route, so they will always show EPA estimate.

Any sane a Tesla driver changes that to show percent battery instead of range.

As others have said the trip planner is excellent, within a percent or two even in winter conditions driving over passes etc..

Note that range changes a lot more due to elevation, speed, cold etc, compared to gas cars because electrics are so much more efficient.
How is it false advertising.
> NAT was created to help with the limited IPv4 space, and only that.

Irrelevant. It's paramount that LAN operators should have tools for configuring LAN routing policies properly.

It so happens that NAT is the tool usually used for this.

(Not necessarily, though; we don't use NAT on the corporate LANs I'm responsible for, we have two interfaces and OSPF and wireguard to tie it all together.)

In a just and sane world IPv6 should have solved the tunneling problem so we don't have to rely on the myriad of incompatible and broken solutions just to bridge two network segments. Alas, we got the useless solution to a non-problem instead.

> Every device should be globally routable

That is literally insane, like I said. People who propose this should be banned from ever doing IT again.

> ...the access should be policed by the firewalls

Of course that too, but that issue is vastly less important than the routing issue.
You are right. But what I wanted to say is, some people stick to very basic tools, even after you show them more convenient tools like a sharp knife with a firm handle and a knife sharpener. Often the switching part of the process seems to big of a hassle.
Hypothetical future tax on pix transactions.
> Here is a minor list of things which will reduce range pretty significantly:

Bit of a sarcastic take: apparently also use of indicators.
I think most people understand that "no Javascript" applies to the client. You can't exactly write a backend in pure HTML.
>They probably can get the right estimate for a destination because it knows the speed limit

Even this is a massive over-simplification. Driving the same speed with a 20 mph headwind is going to take lot more energy than with a 20 mph tailwind for example. There's lots of other variables and they may be certainly tracking some (like A/C current draw) but I doubt they track others (like rolling friction or road conditions).

Edit: I found this article [1] and it claims they track an impressive amount of weather and traffic data for the calculation. I'd be curious if this is based on car sensors (probably not?) or local weather stations.

I can't comment on the courts being biased.

At least in Germany, AFAIK you only split in half what you earned during the marriage - and that seems fair. Like two founders getting 50% of a startup.

I don't know, none of this strikes me as a big reason not to start a family with a partner that you see eye-to-eye with.
This is the most expensive way to say, "Familiarity breeds contempt," that I've ever heard.
United states would benefit greatly from approaching antitrust the way EU does it. For folks that complain about the big {pharma, tech, cell, internet, insurance} you can argue that economies of scale tends to benefit consumer, but when companies become near monopolies it gives them enormous pricing power. Parents would know that diaper prices have increased a lot and that because P&G is the only game in town.
Hopefully this introduces pressure to actually get littering taken more seriously. If there are communities who want to swim, but feel uncomfortable about it, those communities can begin to pressure the government to deal with those problems.

Given that the article mentions that there will be officially held races/ marathons, I suspect that there will be a lot of money being put into keeping the water clean and safe. It seems like the city has been very invested in improving the water quality of the Seine and I expect that to continue with the additional pressure of human swimmers.
Yep. That's why I just leave a brick on the brake pedal. Infinite range!
"1 kg of drugs containing 30 g of heroin"? So is that 30 grams of heroin plus filler, or is it 1 kg of something else that's been adulterated with heroin? What does "drugs" mean?
Yeah, people are too focused on the shoulder. Your idea is doing what we do with ships today. Specialize harbor pilots get shuttled out to an incoming ship and then bring it into dock. They do the reverse when the ship leaves port. There no reason something similar couldn't be done for long haul trucking
I agree. I’ve rebuilt cars. I get it.

Knowing the best way to use something is not the same as serving it.
