If the recall is more expensive than the possibility of mass lawsuits, then Tesla will leave the owners deal with the issue.

To be fair, this is typical behavior of any automaker, not just Tesla.

I myself had my ordeal with Honda over a poorly designed auto braking system on a new $40K vehicle that almost got me killed.

The response I got from Honda both the dealer and service was pretty much the same, we checked the computer logs and didn't find anything wrong with the car so it is safe to drive.

I decided to trade it in for a Toyota and take a $10K loss.

A couple of years later there was a class action lawsuit for the same exact problem I had and eventually a settlement, obviously Honda never acknowledged any wrongdoing.

Shortly afterwards my Toyota got recalled for the airbag malfunction after many people got killed or badly injured.

As a C++ dev, I definitely disagree. C++ has a lot of advantages, like an enormous pile of easily-usable existing C and C++ code that you can hook in easily into any project.

Chances are if there's a problem to be solved, someone has solved it in C or C++ and the code is out there already.

It also has a lot of great support in terms of toolchains. Almost everything everywhere supports it out of the box, and you have your pick of any tools you want.

It also works on fairly simple principles, so anyone with experience in programming can work in it without learning a completely new way of thinking. [Even if their code won't be amazing at first]
> People using AGPL seem to be signalling that they don't appreciate other people using their software for profit.

No. We use xGPL to protect our (developers) and users "right to repair". xGPL developers don't care if you are selling and making a profit from the software they created (and you maybe enhanced). What they want is that you do so by also ensuring that every user of your software also has access to the source code so that any developmental knowledge is not lost or the software doesn't become abandonware when it is no longer profitable to sell it.
That's a weird way to say you consent to other drivers being drunk on the road.

>Which moral system is better than the Christian one

I can't really say. All I can say is that the Christian moral system didn't simply win over other societies through its moral value alone

>Is that what making up euphemisms to redirect and confuse the public is?

I guess you can spin any kind of PR that way, sure. The Civil Rights movement, the multiple sexual awakenings, the KKK, Christianity, and Super Mario Bros. All make up some kind of PR for some purpose.

(and no I hope you don't read too much into that. I hope using Mario and the KKK in the same sentence clues you into this being how general of terms we're speaking).
I misread LLVM as LLM and wondered what on earth language models have to do with Fortran compilation. (They don't. LLVM is a compiler framework.)

since I added OTEL instrumentation to an app, I already easily swapped out the backends from Prometheus and Jaeger to Grafana Mimir and Tempo.

I feel similarly, and really love his older books. However his slide towards glorifying terrorism in his recent work is really troubling. The increasing focus in his work on uni-bomber like characters is really off putting.
Define "significant". At $lastco, we routed traces to Cassandra and stored them in an AWS elasticsearch domain. Jaeger was used to visualize traces. We also wrote some elasticsearch queries to generate some basic reports, eg finding the most sluggish queries. Pretty standard stuff if you follow the OTEL/jaeger tutorials.

Traces came on the order of hundreds/second, but we didn't have downsampling turned on, just collected all. Traces were saved 7 days (configurable). Very little actual optimization at the point where I left.

I think it cost on the order of dozens to hundreds of dollars a month.

There's an environment variable which you can set on your containers which defines how the tracing sampler behaves. It's in the docs. See OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER

Based on this, it sounds more like tuna is the only fish we know is mostly parasite-free, not the only fish that is mostly parasite-free. Perhaps most fish is actually parasite-free, but since we don't have enough evidence of that, the FDA is not going to allow selling it unfrozen.
It's a standardised way to send metrics to Prometheus. You can have a metrics exporter for Prometheus, e.g. https://opentelemetry.io/ecosystem/registry/?s=prometheus&co...

And yet most will not even get close of being an ecosystem. "Green" and "parks" are mostly consisting of 2-10 species of plants, not more, and none of the species having a fully life cycle (seed to humus), also taking the space dozens of other species would otherwise fill (insects, funghi etc).

Im regents park london, they let some cut trees rot on purpose, years later there are still no funghi visible growing on them, while in a forest that happens. Ive also not met a single mosquito there in years.

Most city parks are mere deserts to me.

I can definitely relate. As an engineering manager, migration projects are often the least fun to work on. They are complex, take a ton of time and no one wants to work on them. If this works as promised. I would like to try it on a few migrations myself. Best of luck on your work,
These are good examples of mass casualty events that didn't motivate effective responses. For both climate change and guns, there are people that want to keep the status quo as it is. I believe that popular arguments against gun control will be able to stay effective in ways that arguments against climate action will fail.

First, one of the most popular arguments against action addressing climate change has been that climate change is simply fake. A mass-casualty event would make that argument less effective.

The gun control debate in the United States is linked with people's perceptions of personal agency. Often, a mass casualty event perpetrated with a gun is ended by a gun being used on the perpetrator (sometimes, it's the perpetrator killing themselves, and sometimes it's police killing them). Many people imagine it would be possible to end those events as a bystander with a gun. But I think that it would be much harder to get people to fantasize about being a hero that stops a mass casualty event resulting from extreme heat. Such an event starts and ends when Mother Nature says it does, and it seems like it should be pretty clear to people that the only way personal agency is relevant is in the act of preparing the environment.
If Lee hadn't gone to West Point and rubbed shoulders with all the right people, would he have gotten the job that made him famous? There were probably rank and file soldiers blown away in opening volleys who had more raw potential as military strategists than Lee, but were never given the opportunity because they didn't have the money, prestigious degree, and political connections.

Software has always been a special case because despite some naysayers, it is quite meritocratic compared to other fields. Your degree might boost your ability to get an interview, but in a good technical interview, the good coder without a degree is generally going to stand out from a bad coder even if they have a degree from a prestigious university.
If you think that:

* It is possible to create von Neumann probes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-replicating_spacecraft

* At least some percentage of civilizations would create them

* The odds of intelligent life occurring around a star is less than one in 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (the number of stars)

Then, in all odds, they should be here already. And why move on, when von Neumann probes are "free" in that they have zero marginal cost?
Looking at who funded the study gives a clue as to what the result needs to be. We know Bill Gates is heavily invested in vaccines.

Yeah, I think that's well said. I think the doomerism is more of a sell to investors than users sorta situation but it cuts both ways, which makes me sad for the tech industry having just made this same mistake with crypto. Who benefits from this? Anyone invested who doesn’t want to disappoint an investor (LPS, VCs, and founders) and/or anyone who’s ego is invested in the space and/or anyone who is raising money in the space and reliant on the technology and/or AI companies who benefit from the publicity/legitimacy of having their CEO talk to congress and/or AI companies who get an entire NYT piece run for a week about how an LLM is going to kill us all and/or any public company that can benefit from a stock rally by pushing the narrative that they’re in a land grab market and have the coveted goods and/or any large company that could benefit from blocking out nimbler competitors by getting arduous regulation passed… I could go on. You realize that like every 10th article on HN is an AI existentialism piece? Reddit is even worse. It also diverts the conversation from LLMs being shitty to the machines are coming. I’m fine with doomerism (getting hysterical can be fun) but I think it’s completely unwarranted with where we’re at. I don’t think we should overlook the risks associated with intellectual property, impersonation, data privacy, the ever growing body of bot spam destroying the internet etc. but worrying about the more dramatic risks has proven to be a pretty effective diversion tactic from the obvious acute problems — namely that LLMs have very little practical utility as they are now and the little utility they do have is primarily beneficial to spammers/scammers. I can already feel the person chiming in to tell me they love co-pilot (please just learn the language you’re working in).

But to be clear I’m not saying this is a methodical highly coordinated ad campaign amongst multiple companies. I don’t think human beings are that competent. I think it’s way more grassroots and feeds on cultural tropes that have existed since at least the 1950s but probably the early 1900s. I think Anthropic’s leadership probably genuinely believes their own bullshit but I also think they understand that that same bullshit has raised over a billion in funding.

It might be ADHD, but I noticed that most people won't be able to see an idea through without getting bored/moving on.

Then those outside groups should make a software foundation that's attractive enough to replace UNIX.

I see Debian today tinkering with two additional kernels - FreeBSD and Hurd, and both are written in C.

Until some kernel 100% written in Rust/Go/modern C++ starts being attractive for OS integration there is absolutely no point in claiming it's possible and even a better choice.

C has lost a lot of ground since 30 years ago, rightfully. User applications with GUI used to be written in something like C89. Games too. It's some people that just cannot grasp that it and its ecosystem have a huge merit over 'alternatives' when it comes to the ground it retained and still holds today.
> (A, AA, AAA, C, D (why no B)

No B now because very few people use battery powered vacuum tubes any more. B batteries were mainly used for vacuum tube plate voltage.

I remember in the early '70s as a kid building a Radio Shack one tube radio kit [1] and using a Radio Shack 22.5 V B battery [2].

I think that was the last time I ever encountered a B battery. By the '70s tubes were on the way out in consumer electronics. On that page I linked with the Radio Shack kits there are 6 radios and only one of them uses a tube.

Less banks and more banks
I have been building in the digital banking space for awhile now. Given the stress in today's banking system, there is massive business opportunities in the neobank space.

I write about why this is a great opportunity here: https://easilyamused.beehiiv.com/p/less-banks-banks
My introduction to my "assigned" undergrad faculty advisor (freshman year) was him sitting down the 6 students that were his, explaining to us what tenure was*, and then telling us never to contact him and to talk to his grad student instead.

Somehow, I imagine he didn't treat his grad students much better.

At the end of the day, individual faculty members and department standards make a huge difference.

Mostly because faculty is too busy trying to make tenure or climb the political pole to dean to audit their colleagues.

Of course you don't have to. As a reader, the chain went -

OP3 - Here is a big list of reasons why you're wrong.

The first two didn't provide any sources either, admittedly, but they didn't really make any statements of fact.

I didn't ask to pick on you or because I have some political motive(honestly, I have no idea or opinion on whether OP1 was right), only because it was the first post presented as definitive in the chain.

Xfce has a plugin to do it as well, but it needs various strange Gtk settings to tell apps to use it, and I can't get most of those to work.

I recommend sampling traces if you aren't. I've been unimpressed with datadog apm, which has no affordable configuration. We've been running our own Jaeger stack with 0.1% sampling, and it's negligible to run compared to datadog apm.

For metrics and logs, sampling isn't so useful, so I don't have a good answer. Datadog has 80% gross margin, so at most 20% of what you pay them is the infra, so you stand to save a lot of money running your own open source stacks if your labor costs would be less than that 80%. With datadog, we have a project every 3 months to reduce usage, so it's not like we aren't constantly babysitting it anyway.
