Regen braking != single pedal driving.

Regen braking can be done by being blended in on the brake pedal. This gives a near identical feel as driving a regular car, where it doesn't really start pulling power to the battery until you press the brake pedal. Once it reaches its max draw it starts to bring in the brake pads.

Many EVs make single pedal driving modes optional, with some of them not even really having it as a feature at all. Some just essentially have it like its just a medium level of engine braking but will never come to a complete stop on its own.

Regen braking is a big part of why EVs and hybrids can be as efficient as they are; they capture all that energy that normally bleeds off as heat when you're driving around the city. Since I've established you can still have a normal accelerator/brake feel as a regular car while still having regen, what reasons would you have for not having it?

Also, I'd highly recommend actually giving single pedal driving a decent shake before fully judging it. Its incredibly nice just being able to control my speed with a single pedal instead of having to use two pedals to achieve the same end result. And then when I take my foot off the accelerator, I'm fully stopped without having to hold down a brake. I get many cars have an "auto hold" feature but I've yet to feel one as smooth as cars with good single pedal driving and I just can't seem to trust it in the same way.
They're probably referring to the optional facial recognition based boarding systems that many airports in the US are rolling out, primarily for international flights. It uses facial recognition to match you to your passport photo based on the documents verified during check-in, to ensure the person boarding the flight is the same person who checked-in when their documents were manually verified and recorded in the computer system.

You can still hand your passport and boarding pass to the gate agent, it's not required to do facial recognition boarding if you don't want to, and at any rate it's not doing an iris scan, it's using a standard facial dotmap to match to a photo. It's not even doing 3D mapping, because it's source material is a standard passport photo.
WebAssembly doesn't provide any new functionality much in the same way cars did not when compared to horse-drawn carriages. You can argue that everything you can do with Wasm can be done with JavaScript, but often it involves significantly greater effort.

Where Wasm is a massive improvement:

* Ability to use existing C++/C/Rust code without a rewrite.

* Performance consistency through languages with manual memory-management and more straightforward performance characteristics.

* Performance of working with multithreaded code by using languages that can pass pointers and avoid message-passing overhead.

* This last point is somewhat unproven as it's related to my own personal work, so take it with a grain of salt! Wasm has unique properties that allow it to be augmented to run complex, seemingly unnetworked, code perfectly synchronized between computers with very little latency in the UX. I'm convinced it can eliminate a whole class of complex networking / sync issues. I first demonstrated the concept earlier this year with tanglesync.com, but I'm currently working on a follow-up.
1. dont producers now have much higher latency since they have to wait for writes to s3.

2. if the '5-10x cheaper' is mostly due to cross AZ savings, isnt that offered by AWS MSK offering too?
Molly White points out [0] that they seem to have gotten awfully vague about what they store, emphasizing in some contexts that the hashes on the chain are all that technically HAVE to be retained (and encouraging the assumption that those themselves are rigorously impossible to extrapolate personal information from)— but also insinuating to people at en-Orb-ment that they need to opt in to letting the company store full imagery of their iris scans in case the company decides to change the hash algorithm someday.

I've rebuilt most of the electrical system in an RV I recently bought. It started out with a basic "shore power" system as the dominant source of electricity along with a couple lead acid batteries. I've replaced the old batteries with LiFePO4 (lithium) batteries, swapped out the AC->DC charger/converter with one that can charge lithium, extended the main AC power cable into a central electrical bay, installed a 2000W inverter, installed a hardwired EMS/surge protector, and a transfer switch to automatically switch main power to the inverter whenever it's powered on. Next is to install dual 400W solar panel systems (it could have been a single 800W system, but it was actually cheaper with a dual 400W system).

Ultimately I'm going to live in this RV and work remotely as I travel.
How much work is actually involved in adding support for this format? Like is it just plugging an existing implementation into the abstractions they already have for other image formats? or is there more to it?

I think an inevitable but mostly untapped direction of research is to leverage biotechnology to manufacture materials to replace plastics, metals, chemicals etc., that either don't have renewable sources or can't be biodegraded back into source material. We can go even further and create new biological machines, bioengineered motors and computers and all kinds of shit scaled up from existing models in nature.

The technology of nature and life is far more advanced than anything we have conjured up ourselves, and the more we learn from it and harness it, the more we will be able to advance and evolve our technological progress without creating all the geopolitical and environmental problems that usually come with these advancements.
If you're on Linux and pg15, you can install it with https://github.com/tembo-io/trunk. It is only tested on pg15 but we are actively working to increase OS and Postgres version support. `trunk install pgmq` should install with the pg_config on your path by default.

If this does not work you can build from source. There is a guide in the contributing docs https://github.com/tembo-io/pgmq/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
Modern motherboards are configured so that RAM optimization is done automatically but you can still do it manually.

Did Sam Altman forget to bribe the right people? Because if he would bribe I would understand why governments would allow a private entity to steal data, content, ip, and identities en masse, as it currently happens in some jurisdictions.
I'm quite sure the author knows more than me, by far, so I'll err on the side of believing them, but I'm amazed that someone could read a physics textbook, but not be able to do a resistance measurement in a way they were happy with.

Anything above microohms would be trivial to measure compared to the skill needed to understand even the most basic physics textbook.

Of course, they didn't have 3D printers to make solderless mounts, and the equipment was much worse(I'd imagine they probably still had analog oscilloscopes lying around!).

But then again, I was once asked by a friend who was about to graduate to come help with a college project. I know absolutely nothing about any of the math involved, I was just there to make some sensor data go on a WiFi network. We got everything done in a day, after they were fighting for weeks.

I think college just only teaches you the hard stuff, and then leaves you to figure out easy things like "Resistors have a power rating that isn't infinite" by yourself. Seems pretty reasonable given the fact college education people make 20 to 100 times more than me!
This is a partial cheat, because there was software involved, by the coolest physical thing I've made is probably the photobooth I put together for my wedding, combining an old laptop with a broken hinge (which allowed it to become a cheap touch screen), my Sony A6300 and big Epson photo printer, all crammed into some ikea shelves that I boxed up with some stiff cardboard and decorated as nicely as I could to match our thankfully fairly rustic wedding [1].

It was very simple to use, completely automated, took no maintenance other than loading some paper every few hours, and people were free to print as many high-quality 10x15cm photos as they wanted, and if I recall correct, that number was somewhere in the region of 200. There's something special about a physical print compared to seeing a picture on a screen.

The reason I think it's cool is because even 5 years later, I still visit friends and family and see photos printed from the photobooth framed on their walls, and I've had multiple friends use it for their weddings too!

I think the advantage of keeping it unmanned and simple was that older couples had a bit more confidence to get up, press one big button, and get a photo without any fuss. We had an actual wedding photographer there too, and they got plenty of wonderful photos, but mostly of the wedding party. It's only been a few years since my wedding, but unfortunately, some older guests are no longer with us, and the photobooth has left us with some wonderful photos to remember them by, which otherwise I don't think we'd have.

Very DIY, bit in my rather biased option, very cool.

That is correct about flushing. RE: consuming. The TLDR; is that the agents in an availability zone cluster with each other to form a distributed file cache such that no matter how many consumers you attach to a topic, you will almost never pay for more than 1 GET request per 4MiB of data, per zone. Basically when a consumer fetches a block of data for a single partition, that will trigger an "over read" of up to 4MiB of data that is then cached for subsequent requests. This cache is "smart" and will deduplicate all concurrent requests for the same 4MiB blocks across all agents within an AZ.

It's a bit difficult to explain succinctly in an HN comment, but hopefully that helps.

There is nothing legacy about Visual Studio. There is simply no equivalent of its debugging and profiling capabilities in C++ and C# especially in graphics / game development. No such equivalent exist in Unix world including macOS. They set the bar.
>For playing games though - sure, Linux is already great. Steam Deck proves that by playing pretty much everything flawlessly.

The caveat is that this is only true when applied to games on Steam. I play games that aren't on Steam, and I've not even bothered to see if they would run on Linux because it's just not worth my time.

(No, I do not expect something in Japanese that communicates with DMM Game Player for user authentication and DRM shenanigans to work in Linux.)

I used to be heavily into building terrains, physical dungeons and other props for tabletop gaming. I wish I still had my old pictures! At one point, I considered taking on commissioned work for castles, fortresses, modular tile-based dungeons...
As someone who has spent years working on one of these, that is a very interesting question. I do it as a passion/side project so it's not as important to me, but I also like to think of it like the "Field of Dreams" philosophy of "If You Build It, They Will Come". I hope one day if I add enough features and interconnect enough things, the applicability will show itself.
Yea it's got some really odd behaviors that I can only attribute to Yelp style behavior from Google.

I was literally on the same block as a restaurant and it wouldn't show in maps at all, though the other 3 restaurants on the block were, and the only way to get it to show up was to Google it then click on the maps link. As soon as I took focus off the restaurant it disappeared again.

I can only presume it's because they hadn't paid Google or were being punished for some reason. It lead to me looking for more examples and found many places, including some major ones in the city I'm visiting, were excluded for no apparent reason, even ones with 4.9 ratings, and the only correlation between them was that they either were inherently more "indy" than the rest and thus likely to avoid engaging in certain aspects of Google or were close to a more powerful competitor.

I made one of those Word Clocks using an arduino, glass, wood, paint, a couple buttons, and a laser cutter.

I painted a pane of glass white, then black, and created the file for all the letter to say the time as well as happy birthday. Took it to a laser cutter to etch it into the glass.

Made a backing with leds programmed to display correctly the date and time, iterate through colors, modes, etc.

I also made it in Hebrew too. I have the code somewhere if others are interested in making it.

You are totally right about human interface management. For software engineers, that bar is really high as devs by default engage in a ton of tools for their day to day work to convert tickets to PRs

Dating, for one thing. When my daughters apply to college, I imagine they won't want to go to a school that's 65/35, since that would create a very skewed dating dynamic (to the benefit of boys and the detriment of girls).
I think that saying a black face has less signal than a white face is, while true, not quite relevant. Because it's more about the difference in luminosity across features and not the absolute luminosity.

The best solution is to get cameras which can see and record both visible and non-visible light spectrums, since they will provide more uniform contrasts for edge detection across skin tones.

But until then, we need to stop blindly trusting the software.
The blog post mentions "P99 of ~1s of producer-to-consumer latency". What about just producer latency i.e. message successfully received into the queue ready to be picked up? S3 writes seem be in the low 100s of ms so I assume that's part of the quoted end-to-end latency.
Key word, "almost." Taking the incompressibility of liquid too literally could mislead one to think that liquid in a sealed tube could be used for faster than light communication.

I imagine that much would depend on the shape of the bottle and the kinematics of the shaking. If it's a perfect cylinder, and the shaking is perfectly aligned with the axis of the cylinder, then perhaps no mixing would occur*. But if you shake a plastic soda bottle, the nubbins on the bottom would make areas of lower and higher pressure, which could induce turbulence. Also surface effects would be interesting -- either oil or water could be stickier, which could result in films, then droplets, being separated from one fluid into the other.

* though, shockwaves could conceivably form circular vortices...
It all comes down to instincts we developed as chimps. Men fight to protect (or expand) tribe and territory. Women don't fight. It's in our DNA. If you have to apply logic to it, use the biological basis as your guide. Men shoulder all the fighting to enable female reproduction, and women reproduce. It seems asymmetrical but pretty equal to me.
This is the first I've heard of anything knocking off part of the Sphinx. That would have be very disconcerting to the folks at the time I guess... Major show of disapproval by the gods, even if you do wind up with some iron.

Companies have not yet woken up to the idea that implementing this kind of telemetry is effectively leaking their private business data to third parties (competitors even).

Nobody's been so obviously burned by it yet that the lawsuits have started flying.

Just imagine the kind of data (say) Microsoft is leaking to Google, via all those users running Chrome. How about all those AMD users who are running Intel/NVIDIA graphics drivers in their laptops?

If I am a big tech company sitting on a pile of that telemetry data, you can bet I'll be tempted to data mine it for such leaked data about what the competition is up to. It'll probably take an email leak to reveal the practice, and cause some sort of consequences for this though.

Knocking noses off statuary was a favorite pastime of early Christians. Without a nose, the spirit occupying the statue would be unable to take in the smoke from the offering. They also broke off right hands for similar reasons. The activity is called "iconoclasm". These early Christians ardently believed in such spirits, which they considered demons, and meant to deprive them of sustenance; and more importantly, to deprive competing priests of places to operate.

Ancient Egyptians also vandalized more-ancient statuary, but they usually preferred to chisel out the attached name and carve their current king's name in its place so his ka would get the benefit of offerings. Ramses II was especially known for "tagging" ancient statuary; egyptologists, oddly, routinely accept such tags as proof he was responsible for the item.
I was surprised to learn how easy it is to make truly delicious bread. Of course you can spend years refining your technique, but the barrier to entry is low.

1. Yeah, we mention at the end of the post the P99 produce latency is ~400ms.
2. MSK still charges you for networking to produce into the cluster and consumer out of it if follower fetch is not properly configured. Also, you still have to more or less manage a Kafka cluster (hot spotting, partition rebalancing, etc). In practice we think WarpStream will be much cheaper to use than MSK for almost all use-cases, and significantly easier to manage.

No. Advocates of expanded IP law have attempted to spread the idea that copyright infringement is "theft" as it adds emotional weight to their arguments.
