I didn't say any of that.

My comment is about how surprising it is something like this might be legal when other, very benign modifications are not. That was all. A whole lot more can go wrong with something like this, versus say an aftermarket exhaust.

The regulations are not hard to know, but something like Comma is a little bit in front of the regulations, and so it poses risks we have yet to discover and cater for in said regs (sensors must be weatherproof might be a good example of a good reg). The same is true for OEMs, Tesla and friends were bringing out features faster than regulations can describe if they are safe or not. This is not true for other parts of vehicles, we understand suspension safety very well so just following the regulations is enough to stay safe.

In general, unapproved vehicle modifications are a risk as they haven't gone through the same safetey and emissions appratus as approved parts and OEMs have. How risky is the variable, tires too wide, not very, full vehicle control change, pretty risky. I hold that opinion as an avid car enthusiast, some stuff we shouldn't fuck with unless we get it engineered and signed off as safe enough to join the driving public (and I have done this for my suspension modifications).

I think Scala will give a shorter script for the examples in the post: 1) no need to import anything 2) no `void main` 3) no semi-colons :)
The "problem" seems to be less one of "genius" and more one of individuals whose output was regarded as notable by historians and arts connoisseurs in subsequent centuries.

So the clustering effect is more or less expected. Shakespeare was incredibly culturally influential, and thus his most admired contemporaries in the arts are studied and admired a lot more than they otherwise would have been (still their plays are rarely performed and of their poetry of little influence on modern writers), and subsequent generations of creatives not so much (although it's hard to discount the talent and influence of the likes of Milton and Swift...)

Certainly the Elizabethan era in which theatres were profitable centres for public consumption of art was better for playwrights than eras in which they were banned, and better for remembered playwrights than eras in which performance art was not written down and generally performed to small audiences, but it seems odd to call out a handful of admired wordsmiths as a remarkable period of "genius" in the history of a country which subsequently invented much of modern science, conquered the majority of the world and launched the Industrial Revolution, and has literally hundreds of influential musicians, authors and television writers in the last century alone. If you tried to plot something as subjective as British "genius" on a graph, it would look much more like a rising trend than small clusters, and correlate very well with rises in access to education and funding, and giants' shoulders to stand on.

Some of the author's other theories seem tendentious too. There was a lot of private tutoring for the elites in Elizabethan England (and also pre and post Elizabethan England) but Shakespeare and Marlow and Jonson and Spenser went to public grammar schools, where they are thought to have studied rigid curricula in Latin in formal settings with lots of classmates (with notably different levels of acquired knowledge of the classics at the end), just like the upper middle class in subsequent centuries. That seems further from 'individualist' education than modern schooling. But obviously much better than no education, and more geared towards writing plays than a scientific education.
If it really was about calibration, wouldn't you think Apple would've calibrated the screen at the factory and programmed the controller with the calibration data?

The real test would be grabbing two screens with calibrated controllers and switch the controllers out, then compare accuracy after the swap with accuracy before the swap.

That's what they showed in the video. The replacement screen was from a different iPad; it wasn't an entirely new one.

If the cal data is stored in the controller, it's likely that using the old controller with a different screen means the calibration is off a little, but if that's better than using the new screen and controller (presumably with cal data for the new screen) together, there's something going on beyond that.
> Clearly I am not part of the target audience here. But who is?

That would be my biggest criticism too. It seems like the target audience and use cases are ill defined, vauge and hand wavey.

I dont think it knows really what it wants to be, other than definitely some sort of function store for abstract wikipedia, which also seems unnessarily complex.

Quite frankly i get massive wikidata-second-system vibes from the whole thing.

As someone who flies a lot on his own dime, inscrutable airline pricing ends up being good.

It means I can always get a seat, I just have to pay more. It means businesses subsidize mine and everyone else’s flights.

When I’m travelling the world and have to use a train system with fixed prices, I don’t like that I have to book many days in advance or else the tickets are sold out. Just raise the price! Let the rich pay double so it’s cheaper for everyone else, and anyone who _really needs_ to use the service can weigh the costs and decide to pay more.
When I posted the story there was a "text" field, thought it was to provide a summary of the article, but it actually creates a first post.
Creating a good software development process is always a challenge.

There are a lot of variables that influence whether the process is going to work or not.

It’s important to understand that what may work for a certain organization may not for the other.

I’ve experienced a lot of different processes in my career and I’m sharing with you the process that works for my teams.

In this article I am sharing with you:

1. Process for Operational Teams
- Process for handling tasks
- Support to the process

2. Process for Product Teams
- Process for handling tasks
- Support to the process

What process works well in your case?
We're living on a rock with limited lifespan.

Humanity itself is at risk from various extinction level events.

If you insist that it's okay for all gifted students to never exceed to the point of making ground breaking discoveries, we're likely extinct sooner rather than later.

The nongifted people, even if all completely stop contributing to society, would not result in an extinction.

IOW, we are all relying on the gifted people to save us. Hobbling gifted people even slightly has a far worse impact than not helping non gifted people.

And yes, I am part of the non gifted.
I don’t know if that book originated the idea, but your description fits closely to Philosophy of Software Design.
Welcome to the GNU universe. This kind of thing was more prominent in the 00's and I've basically sworn off ever contributing to any GPL projects or using GPL licenses because of how GNU has acted over time. At odd times they get extremely vocal over issues and the responses are typically of the "you are wrong" kind.
Ask HN: Does it make sense anymore to teach kids HTML/CSS/JavaScript?
My 11yo daughter has started to express interest in web app development. I run a web agency and my natural inclination would be to teach her a bit of HTML, CSS and JavaScript and then help her to “learn by doing”.

Part of me, however, feels like these technologies risk becoming increasingly irrelevant. Between improvements in low-code/no-code platforms and LLMs that write code for you, I’m not sure how useful these skills will be to her down the road.

What do people think? What are the right tools and technologies nowadays to put in front of a tween interested in software development?
And yet that duct-taped machine can consistently fire two laser beams at a single droplet of molten tin hundreds of times an hour. Pretty magic if you ask me.
Because it's about control, not safety. Or it's about safety, but not for the user, but for whomever publishes content, or software.
"An architect is someone who comes up with a plan to build something without any real care about budget, labor costs, or labor skills - both in software and in buildings."

Whenever I hear developers say stuff like this, they just sound junior/inexperienced.

Something nobody though about lurks in this nogil build, and we are only going to find out when it goes to prod and users report about it.

My guess would be because of SOAP.

I don't mind XML - for instance I really like SVG, but I've never had a good experience with SOAP.
It matters to you because you care about seeing things succeed according to your definition of success but consider that there are different kinds of people some of which are more than happy to present their works in such a way that it doesn't turn into a runaway marketing machine but presents itself more like you would look at a utility. I have a project like that myself in the works and if it ever starts to take on a life of its own beyond where I'm having fun with it and it is just useful to others I will have to make a very hard choice: transform it into an actual business or to hobble it in such a way that it won't take off (or possibly even to shut it down). Which of those two it will be I can't tell you but in the meantime I've done what I could do to ensure that no matter what I choose users of the service will have perfect data portability with a local installation.

Founders that are in the funding cycle would obviously benefit from Patrick's advice they are going to increase their chances at commercial success that way. But if commercial success isn't your #1 goal there are other viable paths based on your priorities in life. And that's a hill that I'd die on if necessary because I don't believe that everything has to be run as a marketing driven profit maximization engine. The OSS world upholds that tradition pretty good and I'm fully supportive of it, there are many paths to a happy life and not all of them run through a wallet.
My point is about translating after the fact by the end user solving the problem. Now you can use Google translate for free, later you can use your own LLM. Abstracting the knowledge away is wasted work. We already have it in a definitive source language (english for most things, local languages for local things).

This abstract Wikipedia sounds like Esperanto to me.
The Story of the Student Journalist and the Stanford President
I misread your comment as "meth" the first time and I was like... well I guess that could theoretically help. You know, aside from the neurotoxicity of meth.

I take dextroamphetamine for ADHD, and even though it's a lot less toxic than meth is, I still have to take frequent magnesium supplements or else my magnesium levels totally dive (confirmed by blood tests).
Clarification- I didn’t think they were referencing illegal drugs, rather I believed they were talking about regulations to bring medical drugs into the market. Eg cancer drugs etc, which have to go through rigorous trials and validation first.
Wow. This feels like someone has taken a Borges parody and ran with it:

> What is the scope of the new "Wikipedia of functions"?

> [...] Vrandečić explained the concept of Abstract Wikipedia and a "wiki for functions" using an example describing political happenings involving San Francisco mayor London Breed:

> "Instead of saying "in order to deny her the advantage of the incumbent, the board votes in January 2018 to replace her with Mark Farrell as interim mayor until the special elections", imagine we say something more abstract such as elect(elector: Board of Supervisors, electee: Mark Farrell, position: Mayor of San Francisco, reason: deny(advantage of incumbency, London Breed)) – and even more, all of these would be language-independent identifiers, so that thing would actually look more like Q40231(Q3658756, Q6767574, Q1343202(Q6015536, Q6669880)).

> [...] We still need to translate [this] abstract content to natural language. So we would need to know that the elect constructor mentioned above takes the three parameters in the example, and that we need to make a template such as {elector} elected {electee} to {position} in order to {reason} (something that looks much easier in this example than it is for most other cases). And since the creation of such translators has to be made for every supported language, we need to have a place to create such translators so that a community can do it.

I'm not sure I'm smart enough to decide if this is all really stupid or not. If I had to summarize my feelings it would probably be along the lines of Q6767574, (Q6015536, Q654880), Q65660.
The blades in this topic are about 4 times the length of the ones in the video. It's a whole different world.
Not to mention that machine translation became dramatically better with LLMs like GPT 4 and will just get better over time... rapidly.

I fully expect by next year for AI translation of Wiki-like content to be essentially perfect.
I don't think so, that's a thing in England too.
D standard library uses much templates. So only what's used or what is not templatized get linked in the binary. The runtime somewhat tries to follows this too, aka the "pay-as-you-go" strategy as it is called in the dlang world.

For small applications this works even if certain templates can easily lead to have half of the standard library pulled in (e.g a few conversion, a few format, a few regex and boom, the size explodes).

A subset of the language called betterC allows to fully get rid of the "base", but requires to write much more code to get things done. Maybe this is why prakis managed to get the smaller binary ? The comment is not very clear about the methodology...
More to the point, the kind of person who buys this would not want more known about its limitations than your average Tesla owner.

> It does one thing and does it well

From the posts I've read recently it seems like it does one thing and it does it by renting a single EC2 server that will bring the service down if it needs to reboot, and it does it by reselling S3 at 10x the cost.

It's funny because maybe it's a good service but going by HN, it's not reliable or cost effective.
I'm guessing no-one will give a shit about the company size when first there's a death. We'll see.
BoringCashCow: Boring businesses that quietly rake in the cash
Fascinating!
I consume zero sugar (not even from fruit) and if I occasionally do, I don't feel different in any way.

When I used to eat sugar I did a few weird things (like drinking squash raw, without mixing it with water, I had no idea I was supposed to do that) but never felt different because of it.

When I was going to sugar was to cope with life / depression. It was kind of an addiction, not unlike alcohol.
While tomatoes are fruits and some tomato varieties can be quite sweet, a "normal" red tomato is about 5% carbs, 1/3rd of which is fibers.

If your tomato soup is above 10% sugar, a significant amount of sugar was added.

For the wheat thins GP mentions, literally all 4g of sugar are added sugars, per packaging: "total sugars 4g, includes 4g added sugars".

Here is the list of ingredients from the amazon listing:

- wheat flour

- canola oil

- sugar

- cornstarch

- malt syrup

- refiner's syrup

- salt

- leavening

- tomato powder

- sundried tomato powder

- paprika

- garlic powder

- spices

- onion powder

- dried bell peppers

- yeast extract

- natural flavours

- sulfur dioxyde

"Sugar" is literally the third largest ingredient, followed by two syrups at 5 and 6.
I think the purpose is to make you drink more when you're there because you can't talk and then to get you to vamoose and free the table for another diner rather than having a pleasant-to-you but unprofitable-to-them postprandial chat.

You have the patch at that HackRom site, I can't recall it's name now. Romhacking?

No, why? Lots of foundries out there that don't compete on leading edge nodes.

> Apple can't increase the price of their product arbitrarily. So if the price per performance increases, the new iPhone would be slower than the old one. Maybe people will still buy it if it has better power efficiency, but that is a trade-off which has its limits.

That doesn't address what I said -- that price per transistor is not the single limiting factor. I never said any performance increase is worth infinite value.
I recently quit my dev job because it was too stressful and I was burning out. I seemed to almost instantly get better at thrashing my motorbike in the twisties... I'm not sure why exactly but it feels like a weight was lifted and it just allowed me to focus and enjoy being in the moment a bit more.
I'm not sure what's your point. But the direct answer is, it's a very similar number of people, not even an order of magnitude difference.
neither is it like that to be a multi millionaire. rare is the multimillionaire who "retires" to a village and enjoys siesta. usually, they want to move even more money (which is fine).
IMO LLM won't replace developers, at least not in the following 10 years or so. Even if they're having involvement in development, they'll act as assistance tools for (senior) developers. If someone can surpass the junior title and become senior, they'll be fine.

And answering your question then yes, all javascript html and css are fundamental for web interface.

Have a blood work checkup. Ensure you'll check vitamin and mineral levels, perhaps most notably vit D and iron. Also check ferritin and transferrin saturation (aids in pinpointing hemochromatosis ie iron overload, which for many leads to brain fog and fatigue and often shows up your age). Exercise regularly.

I wonder if one could even guarantee a quick and early death without suicide. I assume if you join the military or something, if you get shot on the battlefield you could end up surviving with extreme pain, or bleeding out over a long period of time, neither of which are particularly desirable. There are various ways to go to sleep and never wake up, but I'd assume anything you did intentionally would be suicide.

Some people aren't against committing suicide, but assuming you were someone who's afraid of death (so can't just commit suicide) but still doesn't want to live into their later years, what could you even do? I assume just increase the chance of accidents, but what kind of accident would result in death with minimal suffering?
Well, the FSF policy is completely stupid. They allow binary blobs if loaded from an EEPROM that can't be updated by the user. If the user can update them, they're not allowed.
Iirc there was a somewhat famous case where the design involved some gates that were obviously not connected to the rest of the logic. But if removed the results were different. Iirc the explanation was that the genetic algorithm created an oscillator circuit that became part of the program.
Yes, it makes sense. She has to start somewhere. Plus an understanding of the basics certainly won't hurt.

That said, relatively, the build is the easy part. Solutions are effectively finite. What to build on the other hand? That is where the magic - or the agony of defeat - happens.
That's misleading because most (95%) of a tomato are water. The non-water parts of a tomatoe are 80% sugar, the rest fiber.
Why does the United States never stop talking about UFOs?
try to look at it as a kind of format were you are storing equations (by the moment)

You process the operations between such equations -sum, inner, outer- by "unpacking" them into Matrix equations format (populating the Matrix with the vector values), doing the operations, and returning back to the vector format.

So in essence you are working with Matrix equations, but with a more compact format as vector.

For being able to work with such equations' compact format, its needed to follow some rules restricted to the purpose, case contrary, as in reality they are vectors per se, the geometries could mix dimensions were the equations' proprieties are different.
